Enough About Me...

Yes, folks, I am fine.

Thank you for your concern. Karachi is just about as far as you can get from the epicentre of the massive earthquake that occurred yesterday morning in Northern Pakistan.

But enough about me. The human toll of this natural disaster will be immense. The count today sits at 18,000, but projections are for well over 50,000. Whole villages up north have been wiped off the map, and even getting any aide there at all will be extremely difficult. But, as it stands, I feel unqualified to comment as I have only been watching the news like everyone else.

Thanks to Abbas for pointing out that the Lahore Metroblogging site has some excellent coverage. You can read first person testimony, view photos and find out how you can help.
