I have never cried so much over a news. 9.0 is HORRIBLE...HORRIBLE. We heard this news in the car on our way home from a wonderful picnic with our cousins. It was a horrible shock. So devastating to hear. Personally, I feel ALL of us who are here and well-to-do should do ALL we can to help the MANY victims of the quakes. The ones that are gone, are sadly gone, but there are so many survivors that need our help. Its a horrible tragedy. I was shaking when I heard the story. 9.0. I can't even imagine. I do believe this was a sign from God, and my religion also teaches us that there will be a huge increase in natural disasters before the end of time. We can all see that increase before our eyes now. It is so scary to think about. God help those poor people, and protect us all from such tragedies. Its horrible. Just shows that the power of man is NOTHING compared to the power of God. We can continue to advance in technology, make new inventions, do all sorts of things, but when you look at the power of God, we're nothing but little insignificant creatures. We can only do as much as our minds have the capacity to allow us to do. If God wants to destroy us, there isn't ANYTHING we can do about it. A big wake up call for me, personally. Very scary.
