Thread: Haiti Earthquake?

Hybrid View

  1. #1
    Believe it or not, little Canal Fulton had an earthquake about 17 years ago. It was the oddest thing I've ever felt and I didn't even know what it was. Obviously, there was no damage but everyone went outside and we were all looking up at the roofs of our buildings b/c it felt like someone was stomping on the roof. It scared me to death. I can't even imagine being in such a devastating earthquake as the one in Haiti. I've purposely avoided the footage. I just can't watch it. They're going to need prayers for a long time to come and plenty of aid.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    Doll, I have been thru FIVE quakes and they don't make you feel good.

    The first substantial quake will keep you awake for weeks. Every creak of the house and heavy truck theat drives by puts you on edge and you get that sick feeling in the pit of your stomach.

    Every aftershock is an adventure.

    Your butt cheeks clench, you get up on your arms, if you are sitting and start to think about which way to run.-then it's over.


    I have been on the pot when an afterschock hit and for a split second thought about being found in the pile of rubble with me pans around me ankles!

    You wave bye-bye to storms, flood and stuff like that. Quakes? you never see them coming.

    You can always move to FL and watch the hurricane reports with me and the birdies. You can be their Uncle Richie!

    On a more serious note, I am one of the performers at an inter-faith, international concert tomorrow night to celebrate the memory and commemorate birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It has been decided that none of the musicians will take money from the love offering that will be collected. We will be donating it all the earthquake relief fund. My heart hurts for those people. . . .

    Great!

    At least I know when to get angst-ridden. I can schedule my time more appropriately?

    Let's not forget the other ray of sunshine - Rush Limbaugh.

    Speaking on his radio show Wednesday, Limbaugh said the earthquake has played into Obama’s hands, allowing the president to look “compassionate” and “humanitarian” while at the same time bolstering his standing in both the “light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country.”

    He added: “We've already donated to Haiti. It’s called the U.S. income tax.”

    I had to stop watching the coverage. My heart hurts for these people, specially the children. I wish I could put my arms around them all and make the terror go away and make it all better for them.

    A man at Walmart this morning was complaining about everything. Nothing major just the wait time to check out didn't suit him and nothing else on the planet did either. I told him he should be grateful he wasn't in Haiti. That shut him up!!!
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!
