Americans have given at least $487-million to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

The pace of giving is unprecedented in recent American history. In the 10 days after September 11, Americans donated $239-million to charitable causes, and in the 9 days after the tsunamis hit, major American relief groups raised $163-million.

Of the $196.9-million contributed to the American Red Cross, in Washington, by the end of the day Thursday, $110-million came in through the organization's Web site.
