I heard over 300 were dead and that over a thousand were injured. Definitely not in the league of the Tsunami but a disaster nonetheless. Generally, the death toll rises as they work through the rubble.

I don't watch tv so I don't know what's going on there. I also don't receive any newspapers. I did go online to look for information and evidently the Red Cross is there. I found photos after breakfast and it looks pretty bad-

It's a very poor country. I presume thousands will be displaced.
