Dear All,
there is also the mystery of whether Diego Garcia received a warning, as
mentioned in the NY Times on 28 December. It is a highly significant US
base (on a British colony), with presumed nuclear weapons and possibly
'terrorist' detainee', max about 2 metres above sea level. A web discussion
group has some info:

and this points to a very long article.
Happy New Year,
Terry Cannon
