I was watching the news coverage about the heat wave and they broke away for a "breaking news story" about a cruise ship. As soon as they mentioned the ship's name I called DC who sounded OK (albeit a little shaken up). He said there were a lot of injuries.

Apparently he and his daughter were in their rooms when the ship listed VERY sharply. (Again, everyone in his family are OK).

The ABC affiliate here just had a caller from the ship (as Sr Vitelli described) and he pretty much confirmed what DC said (a lot of injuries). This caller said that water actually came onboard some of the lower levels and the swimming pools onboard lost a lot of water when the ship listed. They showed a live picture of the ship sailing back to port (apparently one of the local tv stations dispatched a helicopter to get those shots).

I'm sure there'll be lots of news coverage coming up in the next hour or two.
