Ah not looking too good down there. Lets hope the numbers of casualties are less than expected.

Yikes that doesn't look to good. Hope they get the help they need in recovering from this.

CNN is saying that a serious loss of life is expected

I just hope that the government holds together and that civil unrest does not rise in the aftermath of this.

That seems VERY unlikely to me. Haiti was close enough to civil unrest before all this.

Interesting. On my way home from work, the USNS Comfort had been moved from it's storage location in the Baltimore harbor to a new location that's easier to load supplies. I wonder if they're getting ready to head down there.

This is kinda cool, because of the whole lane kiffin thing here in Knoxville, one of the store owners is sending all the kiffin clothing merchandise to Haiti, oh in addition to some food and water. The video is more of an advertisement than a charity case, but hey.. at least it something.

The Hatian Prime Minister is saying that "more then 100,000 people are likely dead".

....

The government buildings have been leveled, police and fire stations aren't left standing, hospitals can't take patients because they are too damaged... The entire infustructue of the country has been taken out. About the only good news is the airport can still operate so international aid can come in.
