Lots of us complain, bemoan, hate the weather we are dealt, but when one sees what happened in Japan, and even our own country today, a drought or flood seems like a gnat.
I've only experienced one earthquake (I was living in Kentucky at the time) but it terrified me. I ran out of the apartment so fast, in so much fear, that I didn't take time to turn the door knob, I yanked the door from the jamb.
Prayers and good wishes go out to all those affected.
