[Swprograms] Victor Goonetilleke is alive and OK!

[malamb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello, everyone!  I heard back from Victor Goonetilleke in Sri Lanka,
who kindly took a moment to answer me and let me know how he and his
family are doing.  I am passing along his response.  Thank goodness
he's safe, and as those who know him might expect, he's working to
help his people through this disaster.  He's a very busy fellow now,
so I am most grateful that he was able to get a moment to respond.

Great to hear from you. Will respond soon.
All of us are ok here. Trying hard to organize some emmergency
communications and also doing some food destributions and things like that.
Snce the affected areas are so widespread things are very hard. Everyone
within 1000metres or so of the coast have been badly affected right along
the coast from North to South on the eastern side of the island. In some
areas as fari as 2-3kms. On the Western side not so bad, about 100metres
from the coast.as the  quake was on the Eastern side of the island and the
tidal waves came from the East/ S.East.  You would have seen the vast
destruction..frightening..

regards
Victor
