The tsunami already has its own exhaustive entry on Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, including an animation from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, casualty updates and details on the relief operation.

The US Geological Survey site gives precise information on the earthquake which caused the tsunami. This Japanese animation also gives a good sense of the tsunami effect with timeline.

The gruesomely named waveofdestruction.org site has tourist videos and photos of the tsunami and its aftermath, as well as links to aid organisations and funding appeals.

The Digital Globe site has sample satellite pictures taken before and during the tsunami.

Bloggers

There aren't too many bloggers in the towns and villages around the Indian Ocean, but some blogs have reflected the drama these past few days, notably Fred at Extra Extra, posting reflections and pictures from Sri Lanka.
