100,000?

I have to echo the breathless Drudge headline.

See here for the link. This is unimaginable, but it's happening, and the death toll might actually be that big.

If you've blogged about this and have tried to do your part to raise consciousness, thanks. If you haven't, please think about doing so. Post a short list of charities to which you'd feel comfortable offering donations and supplies. Keep this disaster in other people's faces; maybe they'll come around.

I spoke with a student today, and she suggested that expats in Korea should contact Korean media. Apparently, they (i.e., KBS, MBC, et al.) have the phone numbers and other contact info for where to send money and goods.
