Worst earthquake in centuries in Haiti

About 4:55pm today, a 7.0 earthquake struck roughly 10 miles west of Port-au-Prince. Ten hours later, much is still not known about the extent of the damage and death, but it is clearly -- VERY clearly -- going to be catastrophic. Daylight will reveal much more. I've been riveted to CNN and Twitter all night. I'll tell ya, this damn Twitter which I've so mocked...it really is astonishing. Most of the news was coming from Twitter and Facebook, NOT television. The scope of this disaster, though, is just mind-boggling. I feel ridiculous bitching about ANYthing in my life. And how utterly absurd that the other big story of the day was NBC's Jay Leno-Conan O'Brien debacle. Yet again, things are put into perspective. Poof, in an instant, thousands likely died today. The mind can't even process it.
