Its amazing so much life has been lost from this. Its very sad.





I had hoped to visit this part of the world one day I have always been struck by the sheer beauty of this part of the world. Having been through 2 hurricanes with only property damage and no loss of life, it is hard for me to comprehend the sheer magnitude of this.



It will be a long time before that part of the world goes back to normal again.



Truly sad..

 

you think 100,000 people dead, then you think of WWII where over 56,000,000 people died, people rebuild and man carries on



thank god we can sit here and talk about it in the safety of our homes

 

nicely put Rob
