My form letter reply about the tsunami.
Hi,
due to the volume of inquiries, you’re receiving a form response. Sorry about that.
WavePark is unaffected by the recent earthquake (7.7 magnitude), and following tsunami (13ft. high). Although we did feel the earthquake, and saw some strange waves on our beaches for hours afterward, we escaped the brunt of the force being 70 miles north of the epicenter, and having our resort facing west, away from the incoming waves.
Southern Mentawai has been hit hard, and entire villages full of people have been wiped out. As is the case in all earthquake and tsunami events, the news only gets worse as time goes on and reports filter back.
If you would like to help in relief and rescue efforts, please go to www.wavepark.com HOME PAGE and follow the links to make a donation.
As you may know, logistics in these islands are very expensive, and your donation will go a long way towards funding the transport of people and gear out to the islands quickly.
Thanks for your email and concern.
Best regards,
Christe Carter
Managing Director
