Many Facebook friends from Sri Lanka are checking in to let us know they’re safe in the floods & landslides. It sounds absolutely wrenching to go through & must be extremely disorienting.

We send you our heartfelt concern & hope your families & beloved are doing well also.

(These are survivors of a landslide in Elangipitiya village, about 72 kilometers (45 miles) northeast of Colombo where hundreds of families were reported missing.)
