Asian earthquake/tsunami update

Death toll is at 55,600 and rising. Fears of epidemics are rampant due to the profusion of dead bodies in the warm climates. Small native island civilizations may have been wiped out. This is huge, and likely larger than we yet know. Greg of Airbag has a better post on the subject than I have time or ability to make right now.

Those interested in helping with humanitarian relief efforts can donate to:
Doctors Without Borders or The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent; please let me know if you have other suggestions for effective disaster relief donations.
