If you want to get some idea of the reaction to that mega quake the other day, then Sriram Krishnan is the guy to read. He's in Chennai, one of India's harder hit cities. This snippet tells you a lot:
If you want a sense of the scale of the disaster, you just have to look at this comment I saw from a BBC reporter this morning from some resort in Thailand - "This region has been relatively fortunate in that it has seen only around a thousand deaths". When people start saying that they're lucky 'coz only a 1000 people died, you know that things are bad.
