In days gone by this type of disaster was put down to Gods fury. Thank goodness we have moved on and realise it is just the perils of living on a planet with unstable natural events.
Tsunami, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanoes and hurricanes remind us how fragile our existance on Earth is. A meteor or asteroid collision would wipe us out completely.
I hope the religous 'nuts' who were heard saying that God inflicted the Asian tsunami on Thailand because of it's godless society are re-thinking their, frankly, less than Christian views.
We live on a hostile planet. Humans and nature both make it a dangerous place to live.
Love and thoughts for the people who have lost everything in the Gulf of Mexico area.

I second the "well said."
I'll be the third to second it.
Wow is there anyplace "safe" to move to? I've been thinking about moving to New Orleans... hmmmmmm
And I too hope those people are coping/recovering well from this hurricane
Nicely said. If anybody has a spare $5 lying around you might think about donating to the Red Cross. Thankfully my employer is doing a matching fund, so I can double my donation.
Hey Dip,
We got the side tail of her last night across Georgia - it was a walk in the park compared to the Gulf Coaster's who have had more than their share to deal with.
Thanks for thinking of us over here...

I will 4th that, unless someone else did. I am amazed and in awe of mother nature. Just crazy. We see some crazy stuff in TX, but Im lucky enough to have never lost anything or anyone.
