Hope is on it's way!

Let's summon all our positive thoughts and prayers and send them swiftly to Germany.

"Angela Merkel's conservatives rallied for the final three-week push of the German general election campaign with polls showing unanimously that victory is within their grasp."

Go Angie Go!!!

P.S. Also send prayers (and money) to the hurricane survivers!...Now! Here are some options.

Update:
James Glassman gives us a peak into our hurricane past:"Giant hurricanes are rare, but they are not new. And they are not increasing. To the contrary. Just go to the website of the National Hurricane Center and check out a table that lists hurricanes by category and decade. The peak for major hurricanes (categories 3,4,5) came in the decades of the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, when such storms averaged 9 per decade. In the 1960s, there were 6 such storms; in the 1970s, 4; in the 1980s, 5; in the 1990s, 5; and for 2001-04, there were 3. Category 4 and 5 storms were also more prevalent in the past than they are now. As for Category 5 storms, there have been only three since the 1850s: in the decades of the 1930s, 1960s and 1990s.
