Seeing the Tsunami, Up Close
Journalist Michael Dobbs is a staff writer for The Washington Post. When the tsunami hit South Asia last week, Dobbs and his brother Geoffrey were swimming near the small island Taprobane off the southernmost tip of Sri Lanka. Geoffrey Dobbs owns the small island where the two brothers and their families had gathered for the Christmas holiday. Michael and Geoffrey survived by hanging on to a catamaran sailboat, which had been jammed against the shore. The rest of their family survived as well. Michael Dobbs has since returned to the U.S.
