I pray something like this never happens here in NA, we are certainly not prepared for an event like this.

Well we did have Hurricane Katrina a couple years back... >.>

Well we did have Hurricane Katrina a couple years back... >.>

there wasn't just katrina there was also Charlie Ivan then Andrew over a decade ago... also that hurricane that hit mexico and Texas... the list can keep going on and on most of them I've been alive for yet so many people tend to forget about. Theres also those fires they constantly get in California because of the Santa Anna winds... and for the love of the gods I hope I never live to see the day when the super volcanoe under Yellowstone national park ever erupts though there is a lot of activity going on there... the list goes on and on but the point i believe Holy was trying to make is that he hopes something like that doesn't happen on a continent wide scale because WE as in the North American Continent (including Mexico, and Canada) are not prepared for such a thing to occur.

Then again... one could think of it this way... Is truly anyone ever prepared for such a terrible thing to happen? People can complain all they want about not being able to get their way in something that is only a game and has no exact impact on a person's life, but it still just boils down to this... It's a game and at times in a person life it's necessary to put away such childish things and look at the bigger picture. People are dying and or are dead at this moment in time. It's not something that can be taken lightly or with contempt because it's a human life at stake and their value as human beings far out weighs the needs of the few. Put yourself in their place in their shoes and then you'll really know what it's like. To see how deep their fear is running, or to feel the pain they're feeling for loosing loved ones and to see their whole lively hoods as well as the lives they have built up vanish in an instant. Most of them are homeless and have no food or only have the clothing off their backs. And I would hope that the entire human race would have enough compassion to realize that. I know that a lot of times that's asking too much from human beings but aren't we the smarter ones on the evolutionary chain and have the ability to have these feelings to make us better people and more advanced?
