A large number of tsunami videos at this blog site including general information about tsunamis. This site also has information repecting relief organizations. These people need our support. There is one image at this site which may be the most terrible and saddest image I have ever seen - there is a warning of such at the site -

Pretty intense video of the tsunami coming in. It runs two minutes, fourteen seconds and is an 11 mb WMV file – so, if you're using dialup, it will take a good time to download (about 45 minutes for dialup?).

God, which charities are legitimate enough that my donating money will actually help people instead of just get siphoned off into someone's pocket? Is the Red Cross involved with the UN someway, or is it an independent organization?
 


Thank you for sharing this blog site and the tsunami videos. It is important for us to have a better understanding of the devastation caused by natural disasters like tsunamis and the impact they have on communities. These videos serve as a reminder of the importance of supporting relief organizations that provide aid to those affected by such disasters. The image you mentioned may be difficult to see, but it is a powerful reminder of the human toll of these events and the urgent need for support. Let us all come together to support these relief organizations and help those in need. Thank you for bringing attention to this important cause.
