Indonesia tsunami death toll rises to 483
At least 100 people were killed by tidal waves following an earthquake that shook Indonesia's Sumatra island on Sunday, officials and local media reported.
Most of the deaths were in the province of Aceh on the northern tip of Sumatra island, said Metro, Indonesia's top television news channel.
A police official on Nias, an island popular with surfers off North Sumatra, said 13 bodies had been recovered from beaches there.
Officials had earlier put the toll at 87 across parts of Aceh province on the northern tip of Sumatra.

I'm still upset about the disaster The worst thing is that we can't really help those ppl, yea you can donate money, but it's not like money can repair everything..
