Earthquake
The earthquake in southern Asia is having a devastating impact, with over 44,000 dead from the quake itself and the ensuing tidal waves. The seismic shift has moved some islands more than twenty meters, and possibly shortened the day by as much as three microseconds.
If you'd like to donate to the victims, World Vision is sending food and survival kits to families affected by the disaster.
Update: a more comprehensive list of ways to help is at the Command Post.
