Natural Disasters
Stoneheather and I were both smacked by hurricanes this summer. (She much more than myself!)
Japan has went through all sorts of disasters for several weeks now.
Here's a cool current earthquake link which is SURPRISING. I didn't know we had them going on daily! http://earthquake.usgs.gov/

a minor earthquake occurred at 03:32:43 (UTC) on Friday, October 29, 2004. The magnitude 3.4 event has been located in CENTRAL CALIFORNIA. The hypocentral depth was estimated to be 10 km ( 6 miles). (This is a computer-generated message -- this event has not yet been reviewed by a seismologist.)
