I don’t usually embed videos on this blog — it’s something I usually reserve for Twitter or Facebook links. But this footage is stunning. You think of a tsunami as one big influx of water, but this just keeps coming and coming and coming. Violent and devastating.

Lots of people will watch this and feel compelled to give something, and that’s great. Be generous. Give to the Red Cross or to Doctors Without Borders if you’d like. But read this article first about the smartest ways to give and help nations like Japan. Don’t get scammed and try to avoid inefficiency.
