John, thank you for posting that link. Early this morning CNN was reporting 3000 to 4000 deaths. By 2 pm they'd learned there was over 10,000. Sad.

Just an update~there are now over 22,000 confirmed dead and 41,000 plus still missing.

That is insane. I cant imagine what those poor people are going through. My prayers go out to each and every one of them.

a senior US diplomat is now estimating 100,000 will soon be dead.

Very sad. I'm surprised this isn't getting more press coverage.

Check out CNN. They run updates and pics on there quite often.
