Wow. Scary how everyone has their natural disaster worries... hurricanes on the east coast, earthquakes on the west coast, tornados in my neck of the woods and in the plains and mid-south, and huge fires in the west/southwest. Whenever you're in the middle of one of mother nature's temper tantrums you realize just how tiny and vulnerable we are in the overall scheme of things. Man has made tremendous strides in science, medicine, the arts, etc... but when it comes to mother nature we don't have a stinkin' prayer.
Or maybe that's all we do have...
