While I make it a point to avoid 'OT:' subjects, I thought that I'll turn
to the collective wisdom of the list to, perhaps, satisfy my curiosity.

In the middle of the Indian ocean there is an island (an atoll actually)
named Diego Garcia where we (the US) have a naval base.  While the average
ground elevation of the site is around 4 feet, the tsunami's impact on
Diego Garcia has not been mentioned in the news.  We know that the tidal
wave reached all the way to Africa and the Arabian peninsula (which are
further away than Diego Garcia).  Is the apparent 'silence' due to the
fact that no damage occurred or the fact that we are dealing with a
military base?
