I sympathize, but I think the difference of the Japan quakes is how huge it was. I mean please consider how big the United States is compared to Japan. A disaster there has the capacity to affect a lot more player base than it does here. I mean stuff happens in the US a lot in a year. We'd have to constantly stop the timer for this Hurricanes and Tornadoes in the Midwest. And at that point it would be constantly off. I don't want to seem as uncaring but I feel like we can't just have it shut off unless it's something that severely impacts a lot of people.

Maybe it should be considered because we have had 2 major ones (Texas and Florida) but at the same time I think we should be really be cautious about just requesting to turn it off just cause something's happened, unless it's really severe.
