I know that Miami Beach was the most eastern part of the north coast hit by the tsunami, but I am a bit worried about Tj Tokong as my cousins lived right next to the beach, near the Tua Peh Kong temple. Thanks Peter,

What I heard is the "hiau lor" also washed out into the sea. Cannot confirm this though. KTemoc,

I hope the authorities will do a thorough check on the bridge to assure that the structure is sound and safe. Excerpt from The Star: The Penang Bridge, however, was declared safe after specialist engineers carried out visual and structural checks on the bridge and found it unaffected by the tidal wave and earthquake. Works Minister Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu has directed Penang Bridge Sdn Bhd to do more structural checks on the bridge, with the help of the Public Works Department (PWD).
