For Terri Israeli, Alpharetta, GA , United States: I'm at Kovalam which is not far from Varkala. Nobody was lost on either Kovalam beach or Varkala beach. Although the effects of the tsunami were visible it presented no danger on either of these beaches.
Miles Trevelyan, Kovalam Kerala India
To Terri Israeli, Alpharetta, GA , United States, we didn't meet your daughter butwere in Varkala for Christmas too, and there was a big wave on Boxing Day but not too serious - no-one was washed away, just a few bags, cameras etc. Hope you hear from her soon. Kerala seaside is on the west coast of India. I do not think it has been hit except for its southern tip. I hope the people you seek are safe.

Does anyone have any news of the Mother Teresa Home for Senior Citizens, East Coas Road, Muttukadu? Our uncle is a resident there. Thank you.
Sheldon Edwards, Hornchurch, UK
For Sheldon Edwards of Hornchurch - when I saw your message I telephoned dear friends who live on the coast road at Muttukadu, Chennai, who told me that there is no problem for the Mother Theresa Home, it is on the other side of the road on higher ground.
My friends are much closer to the sea but, by God's grace, came to no harm. They said that the big problem in Tamil Nadu now is clearing up all the dead bodies which are still being swept back on to the beaches by the incoming tides. In Muttukadu they have enough food and water etc.,
To Ashton, Beatty, Rostant, Lewes, Sussex - Just to say that Ooty is on very high ground and not near the coast, so I don't think you need to worry too much if your mother was away from the coast when you spoke to her on Christmas Day, which was likely, if she was heading for Ooty.
Deirdre West, Bangalore, India
