*checks map* Since the earthquake was hit in southeast Indian ocean and the tsunami originated from where earthquake hit, it is least likely the tsunami has hit Pakistan. As a matter of fact, the Pakistanian coast faces west as more than half of India, its neighbor, is stuck out into the ocean, acting like a barrier to slow or stop the tsunami from reaching Pakistan. Since much of the tsunami went west, I don't have worry about the tsunami hitting my mom's home country, Taiwan...no news from it is good news, otherwise, my mom would have be in much dispair.
