This cannot possibly be more important than Charlie Sheen.

[stormer]

That’s a big problem, and it may be the least of their’s...

[BerryDingle]

Just like being at beach with an uncrested wave, you bob up a bit, then down.

No, if you are near the underwater slope of the beach, you'll be part of the tsunami..... Sto Zvirat........Hey zeus!

If those few on top of the building is all that is left, the death toll will be massive.

I wonder if Red Cross or others have set up help lines yet. Well, I always give to Franklin Graham, myself.

[ponygirl]

Christchurch and now this... speechless.

I heard about this on the way home from work. Switching back & forth from CNN to Fox. Oh. My. God.

This goes beyond description.
