At least 222 people have reportedly been killed along the Sunda Strait in Indonesia, and another 800 injured late Saturday night by a tsunami, likely triggered by an eruption of the Anak Krakatau volcano. Water swept along the shoreline with no warning, crashing into homes, hotels, and beachside holiday events. Electricity and water services, as well as roads, have been badly damaged; remote areas have been the hardest hit.
