Watching CNN right now (6:45 am/Saturday 1.23.10) and here is some of what I've heard:

* Over 100,000 have died.

* The Haitian government has now called off the search for survivors.

* At the airport, there are stacks and stacks of medicines and infant formula....waiting.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta just went to the airport with a cart and got as much as he could carry ~ and they gave it to him! ~ and took it back to a hospital.

* The UN reports that they pulled about 130 from the rubble....is that it? That blew me away. I just knew it would be more than that. But I guess that speaks to just how devastating it is.

I can't even imagine the logistical nightmare. Who's in charge? Does it make sense to call off the search? Could there be a chance that someone might still be alive?

* There was a report of a 109 year old woman who was rescued by a granddaughter.....smiling. She was blind, but said she was here to celebrate her 110th birthday.
