Picture

Panic stricken Indians run for higher ground in Cuddalore some 185 Kms south of Madras yesterday, after hearing the warning of possible futher tidal waves striking the area. A government warning that high waves could strike again as aftershocks rattled Indonesia sent thousands fleeing in panic from the coastline of southern India. "The waves are coming," people yelled as they fled on foot, buses and any mode of transport they could find. PHOTO: AFP
