i have heard/seen so many DIFFERENT figures - 50,000, 100,000, 500,000 and ONE THIRD of the population (3 of 9 the million total) ... that's NOT information ... its all guesswork and hearsay right now.

they don't know yet... and how can they really.

i saw pix yesterday and some footage today.

all you can see is pretty much rubble.

with people groping around in it.

no food or water either.

it is horrific.

one thing i know fwiw is they are going to get global aid... from US, from Europe, but also from neighboring Caribbean nations - whatever little they can do but everything counts - there is solidarity.

and i keep thinking what if there is another one. if only the island could be airlifted clear out of the sea to someplace safe while they try and sort people out. yeah. i know. crazy thought.
