Words fail me.

2. Wow. Mother Nature. I feel so awful for the country

They lost as many as we did on 9/11. Wow. So sad.

3. Yes awful. Our friend's relatives in Katmandu were finally contacted and got out of their

various homes as they came crashing down. They, at least, appear to have survived, but are living for now in the neighborhood open spaces, too worried to go inside any buildings for shelter. Added to the misery, the weather has been bad...

Local families here are collecting tents and will fly there this week. And of course they are asking for donations to Red Cross and UNICEF for the relief efforts.

Rescuers in Nepal desperately searched Monday for survivors who may be buried amid the rubble in the capital of Katmandu or trapped in remote mountain villages, as the death toll soared past 4,000 from Saturday's massive earthquake.
