The World Champion and the winner of the World Cup 04 in climbing Tomas
Mrazek and his partner Helena Lipenska just have escaped from the lethal
tsunami today in Thailand.
According to his father info on Czech version CzechClimbing.com (Lezec.cz)
they have survived the large earthquake wave by good luck without any
injuries. The quake caused huge casualties in Southeast Asia. Tomas and
Helena have been evacuated and will return home tomorrow.
General info about the quake e.g. on CCN
“We are in Aonang in the town. It was horrible. We should go by boat, but we
saw the wave. The beaches are damaged, we saw a dead corpus. We have through
jungle to the town. The emergency helicopters are everywhere,” Helena
Lipenska said later according to the Czech national web news side iDNES.
Afternoon a message came from Thailand by Czech climbing team coach Tomas
Kysilka who spent several weeks there with his daughter Czech climbing
reprezentant Tereza Kysilkova:
"It was hard. Fortunately we just climbed 3O m above tha sea, when it came.
It lasted abut a half hour. Nobody understood it, sea was as usualy calm here
and weather was excelent. We are O.K.
We are in Railay. Everything is destroied in 50 m from the sea. There is a
little bit panique here, whether tsunami would come again, but weather is
absolutly calm. We will help tomorrow with tidying."

It's the 5th largest quake ever recorded. That completely sucks. I love that
part of the world. To those of you who have friends over there, my hopes and
prayers go out to them.

I'm in much the same position, I have a ticket leaving for Bangkok in less
than 72 hours, and another ticket booked out of Bangkok and flying into Krabi
on December 30th. The current plan, depending on how things play out in the
next few days, is to leave my rope behind, and spend some/most/all of my trip
volunteering in aid efforts down there, and any remaining time traveling
about. I figure it's the least I can do to pay back an area that, as far as I
can tell, has been more than receptive to the international climbing
community.

Folks might consider going anyway and helping out with the clean up and
putting Rai Ley back together, the more hands that pitch in the better...just
a thought. If you are looking for alternatives, I'd say go to the Blue Mtns.
up at Katoomba 2 hours due east of Sydney on the train.

I'll speculate the bungalows up the Ton Sai canyon are gone - the waves would
have funneled right up through the jungle and gathered momentum as it closed
in on the back walls.
The image of the destruction is mind-boggling.

There are reports that buildings shook in Tasmania which is many thousands of
miles away. The sea rose several feet above normal on the west Australian
coast which is also thousands of miles away from the epicentre. The quake was
reported to have occured along an inordinately long fault line. We are
talking about the earth shifting along a fault that was hundreds of miles if
not thousands of miles long. Billions of tons of water was displaced to cause
this amount of havoc over such a wide area.
I`m seeing images of huge flows of water far inland. One report tells of a
huge crest of water twice as high as the palm trees. That would make it 60
feet high in places. Folks this really is a big deal.

Does anyone know whether or not geological agencies posted any warning
whatsoever from the time of the earthquake till the tsunamis started to hit?
If not why?
All news reports from eyewitnesses all seem to say that the waves came
suddenly and without warning.
From what I understand the quake happened 2 hours before the tidal waves hit.
Isn't that enough time to send warnings out? I'm in Japan and we often get
tsunami warnings after an earthquake...are there similiar warning systems
worldwide?
It's horrible what happened and my heart goes out to all those who died and
their families.
We should all pray for those who are still missing.
If anyone has information on rescue/volunteering efforts, please post them.

We have tsunami warnings here in AK, but I just saw a bit on the news saying
they have no systems there. A lot of places didn't feel the quake either, so
the first warning was when they saw it coming.
This really sucks. I haven't heard back from a friend of mine who happened to
be over there. Hoping he's ok.

As has been said before, this is serious stuff. BBC news here in UK just
updated the death toll to at least 12,000. s---!! Scenes of areas in Thailand
and interviews with survivors just frightening, man. Major aid promises have
been made from around the globe which is very heartening, but I think what is
really needed is lots of hands to help with the clearance of .. whatever
needs to be cleared.
Major deal!

.
Thanks mostly to Japan, the Pacific Ocean has an extensive and effective
warning system to warn against tsuanamnis. Unfortunately no such system
exists for the Indian Ocean.

Being from Hawaii, I know all too well about tsunami warnings.
The problem is the entire region that was hit isn't too well aquainted with
tsunamis so there is no warning system.
Many of the areas are also very poor and have very little infrastructure as
it is, let alone Tsunami sirens and markings for the inundation zone.
Its a huge tragedy this has occured, my prayers go out to all involved and to
my fellow climbers helping. I had two friends just leave yesterday for Phuket
on holiday.
