This is quite a grim story. So many people gone in and instant. The count will continue to rise... and THEN there is the disease factor. Wow... is there anything else one could possibly say?
Having lived in SoCal for most of my life, I've gotta say that mother nature has a funny way of using our buildings and belongings against us. So, when earthquakes hit countries like India or Turkey or what have you, you see a bunch of deaths because they tend to not have the best building codes. Now this tsunami shows me that nature doesn't need to spite you with anything you own; no, it'll just fucking thrash you about with a wall of water.
All we are are specks of living matter living on the outer crust of a spinning core of molten rock that's orbiting around a huge ball of fire.
