Dozens Dead on Nias Island; Heading to Mauritius?

Yahoo! News reports that dozens of people have died on Indonesia's Nias island. "I can guarantee that dozens have died," Agus Mendrofa, the deputy mayor of Gunungsitoli town, said.

"Things are quite bad right now," one resident said. "There is much damage. People are running in panic. Many people are also trapped."

Meanwhile, the article noted that a tsunami could be on its way to Mauritius, though it offered no specific data to support that point. - andy
