2. When it's all said and done, they said it could go as high as 100,000.
How awful. The idea sickens me.

8. So scary...
My brothers are in school there and I used to work there (G'ville,NC). Basically, the number now reported is twice the size of the Oklahoma town I live in.

9. Each update is heartbreaking, but the number of children
lost is just horrific. Many of those beautiful babies seem as if they are sleeping and it is very hard to see how much this has impacted the wee ones.
