Accounts from Lammaites who were in the afftected areas at the time are coming in now:

Geng of Aroy Thai (Bastard Dan's wife) was in their new restaurant in Thailand and she's OK.

Pierre's back from Phuket as well, telling stories...

But has anybody heard anything from Simon & Maggie Twiston-Davies or Nigel and Tueay Pike who were vacationing down there? I hope they're safe and have returned already?

But the most horrifying account from Lammaites I've seen so far was from Ran & Delian. They moved from Hung Shing Yeh to Tung Chung a few months back. I've written about Ran (kickboxing pupil of Alain; 350 Rans photos) several times in the Lamma-zine. They were both learning to surf in Sri Lanka when the Tsunami hit and almost drowned both of them, Ran being dragged out to sea!

You can read Delian's heart-wrenching eyewitness account in their blog (scroll down to the middle of the page, a long, dense message with the heading "Dear all,"):

Ran & Delian's story is in the SCMP today, HK section, page 2, written by Ran himself.
