2. If you follow this Twitter feed...
"BreakingNews" they post all breaking news from pretty much everywhere with the source for the information listed. The source is the most important item to note. The dead or missing 'toll' may be a 'police estimate,' for example.

From that Twitter feed:

Death toll in quake-hit Miyagi prefecture, Japan, could surpass 10,000, police estimate - AP



Japanese police say they've recovered another 200 bodies in coastal areas - AP



Japanese officials raise official death toll in quake to 801 - CNN

Hope this helps some. Also worth noting in the disaster, it's estimated that more than a million people in Japan are now without drinking water, electricity, or adequate food. Even the emergency shelters don't all have power, and it's very cold there at night right now.

Japan can use all the help it can get right now, whether we contribute monetarily(Text REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10.) or by sending good thoughts or keeping them all in prayer.
