News From Haiti Grows Worse Each Hour

Wow...I shudder when I continue to read updated death-tolls from Jeanne's lashing of Haiti. Here is an excerpt from the latest Reuters article:

The death toll rose to 1,008 in the Artibonite region around the northern coastal city of Gonaives and 72 in Haiti's Northwest province, said Dr. Carl Murat Cantave, a government official.
Another 1,000 people were missing and the final death count was likely to hit 2,000, he said.


Here's the entirte article:

With Jeanne now threatening to landfall in the SE USA, the chances increase for a name retirement (sad as it may sound that the death toll in Haiti isn't sometimes enough to retire a name)
