This morning's paper predicts that the death toll will likely top 100,000. That's an inconceivable number to me.
I'll be giving a modest amount of money to Red Cross for their disaster relief fund, knowing that every bit helps. ==================== It's hard to comprehend. It certainly makes my own problems seem very small and trivial right now. I guess the most that most of us can do is give some money to the Red Cross or something similar. I can't remember any natural disaster that was this bad, either. It's simply incredible. Doe aka Marnie
