These natural disasters listed below were posted in early June 2007. There is nothing new here. But notice that there are not many deaths of people. It surely isn't as scary or fearful as it might seem. Houses can be rebuilt, but the death of a loved one cannot be regained. As long as you have your loved ones with you, the most important "thing" is still here. Houses, cars, jewelry, etc, - all material objects have very little importance compared to friendship, love, and relationships with people. You can laugh, build memories, enjoy sunrises and sunsets, and hear birds even still!
