Earthquake

Read the news regarding the earthquake that killed so many people in Pakistan, India, and Afghanistan. Is it me or does anyone else think mother nature is really lashing out this year? 18,000 people, 18,000 and the death toll is still expected to climb. I cannot fathom eighteen thousand people. Actually, I can. I just remembered the images of the football domes filled with Katrina evacuees. That was what around two to three thousand and that's with cots almost next to one another on the football field. So potentially we can have 20 astrodomes filled with casualties from this natural disaster.

The image saddens me. I hope the search and rescue teams will be able to save those who are still trapped quickly.
