[Cadaverous Pallor]

Wow. This makes the '94 Northridge Quake look like a joke.

As was mentioned above, it's been a long time since a natural disaster has leveled an entire large American city. The San Francisco Earthquake and Fire was the last, and that was in 1906. I know I have been under the basic assumption that there was no way an entire metropolitan city could be destroyed these days, especially one as old as NO! I am sad that I never got to visit.

Looting sucks. I know there are plenty of people going for TVs, but I heard an interview with a woman who was sobbing as she stole food for her family. There were others hunting for bottled water.

I'm just as shocked as everyone else about all this...
