As I said before, it's at least a day or two before you can judge these things... the really bad areas are black zones.. no info in or out.

This was true of the Xmas tsunami in Asia. The first news of the damage came out of the relatively wealthy resort areas in Thailand and Sri Lanka, and the death toll slowly climbed toward 50,000. Then a few days after the event when they saw what the tsunami did to Northern Sumatra (which is really poor and right next to the epicenter of the quake) it jumped in about a day to 150,000. The resorts got hit with 10-20 foot tall waves, whereas the rural coastline of Sumatra appeared to have been hit with waves twice the height and caused enough devastation that there was virtually no one around left to tell the story.
