Recent Disaster

The recent earthquakes and tsunami that followed for hours by more than 50 aftershocks, many of them more than magnitude 6.0, has raised concern here is the states as many families worry about their loved one's overseas. I have two friends that are being affected by this horrible disaster and they are worried sick about their children.  One is stationed on a military base outside of  Japan, and the other lives in Hawaii, and drives a charter sailboat around the islands.
The Red Cross in our local area has issued an "activation call" to other state and local branches.  This call center will be based in the McKinney, TX area.  I only know that there will be a huge need for assistance and worldwide help.
