Like Champaign County

The South-East Asian Earthquake and Tsunami's death toll has risen to 125 000. That's like taking my entire county and wiping it off the map. There's a little over 100 000 in Champaign-Urbana-Savoy, and about 25 000 in the surrounding few miles, our 30x36 mile rectangle of very flat ground.

This helps bring this all home for me. It gives me a handle on the magnitude of what has happened. The number of people homeless is approximately the size of the Chicago metro area - City (2.7 M.) and Illinois suburbs (4.3 M.).

Imagine finding homes for all of metro Chicago - on 3rd world income.

Wow.
