The casualties will probably go way up. But Haiti was just so ill equipped to deal with it.

They'll definitely go up, I'd be amazed if the death weren't counted in the thousands (at least), but Chile is much better prepared than Haiti.

And on this jolly news, I'm off to Vancouver to take in some Olympic atmosphere.

No doubt, just early reports so far, but I can't see it being anywhere near as bad in terms of lives lost though.
