Given the number of disasters that happen every year and the number of
people who die without, it is nice of you to notice finally one and tell us
all how concerned you are.

I am sure your boycott on discussing corals will save millions.

I am a avid reef aquarist, but who freaking cares! Possibly 100,000 humans
"damaged" and killed. Coral Reefs are the least of my concerns. No
offense.

Will the recent earthquake/tsunami event affect the health of the coral
and reef life in those areas?

Storms and tsunami are natural phenomenon and are going to tear down reefs
from time to time, just as forests were naturally meant to burn down from
lightning strikes. The end result is that this destruction is what seeds the
next generations prosperity. After a forest burns down, the new forest that
replaces it can be thicker and lusher than what was there befor

And another thing that happens on a reef, is that as it gets older it tends to
be more of fewer species of corals. When it gets torn down, it grows back more
divers in coral species. Even out reef tanks tend to get that way as they grow,
if we don't trim back the corals to allow diversity.

Well I can kinda relate.... just had a 25 foot wall of water tear my
house apart. ;-)



No doubt. It seems you could have had a 100' wave under the right
conditions as well. I would build a monolithic dome if I were you.
How is it going there now?

Still sucking, but maintaining :-)

I can imagine.

There was a dome house built on the island last spring. Ugly thing but
it made it through
the storm with just losing it's steps. And the Discovery channel camped
out in it over night
during the storm. Still waiting for the program to air. The owner got it
built for free as a model
home. But it's butt ass ugly.


It was all over the news here. A bunch of reporters were in there as
well. Some reported sleeping through it....

I thought it looked cool. I'd rather be in an egg than a house built
from the crates!!
