What can be said. I wish I was already trained in search and rescue and could go help. But there's one thing we all can do: donate to the Red Cross. To double your donation, visit your local Lowe's Home Improvement Center. They have pledged to match all customer donations up to $1 million.

Next, go out and get yourself some useful training, like CPR and first aid. The Red Cross offers classes like these all over the United States. Classes are even offered on weekends and in the evening, so no whinin' about "I've got a job and can't take a class". No matter where you live, some sort of natural disaster or accident can happen, so prepare yourself. Maybe you'll save someone.
