Tsunami Toll Nears 100,000, Two New Quakes in Myanmar 
Thai seismologists said Thursday, December 30, 2004, they recorded two earthquakes in neighboring Myanmar in the morning, but neither would spark a tidal wave. The seismology department said one at 0107 GMT measured 5.4 on the Richter scale and a second at 0113 GMT was of 5.6 magnitude. Sunday’s quake toll is supposed to reach 100,000, but the true scale of the disaster may not be known for weeks, as rescuers struggled to reach stricken areas and grieving survivors searched for relatives.
