It's being called the worst natural disaster ever recorded. The death toll is estimated to go upwards of 40,000. This is 10 times the amount speculated in the initial reports. My heart goes out to those affected and I thank the heavens that the people I know were spared.
While it's more gloom and doom on the news channels one gem of hope has emerged. CNN has reported that a baby girl was found afloat on a mattress in Malaysia. The girl is now safely back in her family's care. No writeups to be found in the online versions of local newspapers yet. I expect this story will make the frontpages tomorrow morning.
