160,000

I've been trying to wrap my brain around the devastation of the tsunami, which as of this morning has left approximately 160,000 dead. In the hours immediately following the event, it was too easy for me to file it away as "other news" because it had occurred a world away.

Now, it's just overwhelming. And for anyone still unable to grasp the enormity of the tragedy, just imagine every single person in this town dying.
