They're talking 12000 now. I just couldn't believe it when I heard the news on the radio yesterday AM, it has an unreal quality like a disaster movie. Then you see all the newsreel film, and you realise it's true, and the magnitude is just staggering. When I looked at an Australian site it gave the dates of big quakes, and the scary thing is this is the 3rd big one to occur on the date of December 26th. All those poor people, so many of them have enough troubles already, I'm going to find a disaster relief fund site, and send them a cheque.
