Low possibility it will happen. But everyone knows, natural disasters are unpredictable and does not succumb to mankind&#8217;s prediction. My friends have been reporting a slight increase to the height of the waves in the northern states of Malaysia; some of us are concerned about another epidemic of panic. Uncertainty has gripped many. <\/p>\n<p>The sea seems soothing, with a touch of humidity, tonight; I am monitoring for possible aftershocks in this small forgotten island. There are a few thousand villagers, but word of the quake off Indonesia spread like wildlife. Even after the preliminary reports of the 2nd quake, I was more focused on the preparation in the village. They are rural poor folks, and ill-equipped to handle any disaster, short of a flash flood. <\/p>\n<p>To reserve battery power, I disabled my Twitter app on my BB. Frustrating as I am in a fishing village with little access to electricity. <\/p>\n<p>The fishermen and their families are calmer now, even children are playing at a nearby pond, however the urge to activate my Twitter (@belamfury) is great \u00bb trying to control my own anxiety of being &#8216;off-line&#8217;. <\/p>\n<p>An elderly woman offered coffee and food, a plate full of rice, fried egg and spicy anchovies. Aminah smiled widely as I finished the meal without speaking to anyone. Didn&#8217;t realise I was that hungry but my eyes were still set on the beach. As I see the waving coconut trees and feel the perfect sea breeze, my thoughts are for those in Aceh.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fmoui.net%2Fblog%2F2012%2F04%2Fin-an-island-waiting-for-any-signs-of-the-tsunami%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No devastating Tsunami waves at this moment, near Pulau Indah.
