SURVIVAL STORY
The Oprah Winfrey Show's resident interior designer Nate Berkus was among the survivors of this weekend's devastating tidal waves in Asia, which killed more than 22,000 people. "All of a sudden the roof was ripped off the cottage and my friend and I were taken out to sea," Berkus told CNN from Sri Lanka. "We were able to hang onto a telephone pole with a mattress wedged between us for literally 30 seconds. There was a calm in the storm and then another wave hit. Both of us were torn away from the phone pole." His friend, photographer Fernando Bengoechea, remains missing.
