I just learned today about the 9.0 earthquake in Sumatra. I don’t know how I hadn’t heard, but the whole situation is mind-boggling. Ed points out a place where you can help out here. 22,000 people is too many to lose (1 is too many). I have no wise words here. I just hope they get the aid they need.

Update: Brad DeLong linked earlier to a site called The Command Post that provides many ways to help.
