[F1fth]

Apparently it happened just today, thousands are feared dead. It sounds very serious and quite tragic.

First AIDS, then pathetic leadership, limited resources, and now this.

What an ass-kicking from God.

you know, its much worse than we thought. minor tsunami of up to 4 feet. thats small, but it was underground, not water. lots of aftershocks, many collapsed buildings high death toll. UN mission head killed. Presidential palace collapsed

shocking pictures on the news over here and in 2008 they had 3-4 hurricanes in the space of a few days. some parts are still recovering from this.

I have and I will.

If you can help Red Cross, please do that as well.

[Borderdawg]

The death toll may well be in the tens of thousands. Truly a terrible event.

Giving to causes and charities is extremely easy now---with "texting donations" and online websites---I hope it all helps.

Yeah, a couple of us at work pooled some money together to send to them. Praying is nice, but it's better to accompany it with some action.

Do we have any Haitians among our gamers here?

We'll have to wait a bit before we know.

I doubt they'd be online. They're either incapable of getting online or have better things to do than play risk right now.

Well, yeah.

A. I was thinking maybe some of their friends might know if they were safe

B. Maybe there would be a way for the CC community to rally around them.

that would be noble. we could all buy premium for a special account called disaster relief, and all the money would go to the victims. CC, this would make you look good. you could donate to The Red Cross, or some other organisation.

I could get behind that. Maybe offer a special medal or something to people who contribute (if that would help push people, I don't really care).
