Checking on those 10k islands, I find this...

Physical Description: Covering a distance of over 5000 km, Indonesia is the world's largest archipelago. Estimates vary but it is thought the country is made up of over 13,000 islands. Less than 1,000 of these have permanent settlements. Many of Indonesia's islands are mountainous, have active volcanoes and are covered by dense rainforest. Outside of Amazonia Indonesia has the largest area of surviving primary rainforest in the world.

Im wondering if India has many islands on the East side.
Looks like few hundred.......but few inhabitants

Tonight's reports say at least 12,300 killed...but my guess is there will be many more. The areas affected are so vast, it does make us wonder how enough help can even reach them...

Bless their souls.
