A friend of mine was in Katrina and I also am astounded as the devastation that still exists in communities affected by that hurricane. I do think that as much as we need to try to get systems in place to help keep populations safe, we also need to understand that the planet is alive and unpredictable, just as we are, and we're never as much in control as we imagine we are.Andrea Cremerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03326332737401772239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320387264034521574.post-42220951519337340522009-10-17T13:41:42.421-05:002009-10-17T13:41:42.421-05:00I often remind myself that we live on a molten-cor...I often remind myself that we live on a molten-cored planet in a meteor-ripped solar system within a vast universe filled with unpredictability. We don't control this. At all. Not that I pooh-pooh warning systems--we need all the help we can get.Tricia J.

We still have little protection against natural disasters. My house was destroyed in the 1994 Northridge earthquake; it took us three years in various shelters to finally return to a semblance of normal. New Orleans is still in a shamble. Everywhere in the world there is anxiety and devastation because of natural disasters. We have not come far at all.Rosaria Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133147851332084180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320387264034521574.post-34780409367284965772009-10-17T10:48:20.632-05:002009-10-17T10:48:20.632-05:00It's all about not forgetting what came before...It's all about not forgetting what came before, isn't it?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556206184198452490noreply@blogger.com
