I am increasingly concerned about the safety of some of my friends from the Indonesian city of Yogyakarta in central Java as I have been unable to contact them.
My friends cellular telephone rang out when I tried to call, however they may have simply been unable to get the phone especially if they had to get out of their home in a hurry. I know their house and I am not confident that it would have survived, however they are north of the city centre and the news is saying that most of the damage is in the south.
Like with every earthquake, each time I read the news the death toll has climbed higher.
