The public donations here in the UK are also pretty amazing, which is think must have contributed to the govt. increasing it's pledge to $95m.

Yesterday the public figure was $48m, this morning it was $60m, and the latest figure i'm reading is $85m. All the big charities over here have formed a single group to jointly raise money, and it seems to be working.

I know it's not a big-dick competition, but it does make you feel proud that your country and its people are reacting like this. I just hope the money can be actioned into aid with such vigor.
