Americans have given nearly as much to charities in the 11 weeks since Hurricane Katrina as they did in the entire two years after 9/11.

The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University said the hurricane total already has reached $2.65 billion. The group said within the next couple of weeks the total should surpass the $2.8 billion contributed after the attacks."
