Great find, Mike... truly a tragedy... and Burt's right on the mark with the slow response. Heard a relief worker today on the radio saying that the response is equivalent to when we respond in 3rd world countries, where they have no government infrastructure to count on. Very sad!!

The United Methodist Church has a very active relief agency, and we've already got supplies down in the area... most UMC's will be taking special offerings for the next few weeks. We'll try to do our part, along with everyone else...
