I saw footage of it going into one of the islands. They weren't high at all! Maybe 3 feet. But there was so much water behind it, it just kept on plowing through.

It did hit the west coast of Australia, but nothing serious at all.

Australia and New Zealand have sent in a few Hercules helicopters full of supplies and everything.
They expect many more deaths due to sickness. Everything's contaminated: Water, food, everything.

Australia have donated $10,000,000
U.S have donated $25,000,000

Millions of people are now homeless.

Bad stuff.

Canada is going to make an official statement with a number of dollars that are going to be given to help the situation. Soon, I hope. My sources have been saying that Martin is going to do it within the week.

On a really bad note, people are saying the INITIAL death toll could rise to 100'000 in a worse case scenario, because not all of the villages and provinces have reported damage. Then the disease and famine and all that nasty will set in. We're going to be in for a LONG haul.

They are now saying 60,000 initial deaths, a couple of TEN thousands more that are missing, and then there will be the disease that spreads... I wouldn't be surprised if we have over 200,000 deaths by the end of January, disease included. Could you imagine if it got up to over a quarter of a million? Insane...

yeah, thats awful...they are saying i that it wont be official cout of deaths for awhile, simply because so many places got hit, and some places they cant get to yet...so yeah, I think it will be really high, 100's of thousands for sure.

It's horrible, more and more people are dying or are missing, I think more than 60.000 people are dead and more than 10.000 are missing.
I hope it will take an end.
Poor Asia.

...if anything, I really want to go down there and help. If I could... I really want to help now.

Apparently, before I saw the news. I underestimated the damage...

Unlike WTC the death toll is getting higher and higher. And apparently alot of hurted peopel could die from something as a simple infection. Becuse of no help... I will donate money. I feel guilty if I don't...

The number's up to 76,700 according to the latest report.

Kitten Yiffer: If you want to help, why not donate somehow? If the Red Cross is in Sweden, go there and give them a little bit of money.

OH NOES TEH APOCALYPSE!

This is what happens when there are BIG quakes. Remember when Mt. St Helen's blew? It too shifted the Earth a bit, and it also permanently altered our atmosphere...

This... This is terrible... Last I heard it was 13,000, then suddenly this morning it jumps to 80,000+?

Ugh... I don't know what to feel...

I suppose theres nothing any of us can do..unless you wanna go over there...but also, now they say the earth is rotating faster O_o...and several islands shifted position several inches...if it was a more, we would probably need a new globe.. the news even estimated the deaths without cause from disease will be well over 100,000

Well, if anything the globe is slowly rotating slower over the time. So I guess it's not that dangerous. Unless it's 15 minutes slower or something.

Where did you read that? I want source:

Oh, I know the death count is far from over. Now, how much faster is the earth rotating? Will it have an effect on clocks?

Somehow I doubt it'll go that high, though... It just doesn't seem reasonable. Now, 120,000...

I didnt read it, I heard it on cnn, and they said that the rotation of the earth has sped up, the axis is tilted a little, and that some islands moved a couple inches, and tectonic plates in the indian ocean have moved 30 metres...the last thing said, was it had the power of 1 million atomic bombs...
