My goodness...and they still haven't recovered from the last disasters...

The death toll so far is 1,300, which is pretty crazy. Odd how most news isn't covering this, probably because they don't care enough.

And now they have to deal with Grace on top of it. At least it dropped down to a depression, but they hardly need the rains of a tropical system complicating the search for survivors. :(

Tsumanis, earthquakes, assassinated president... It's really not going well for Haiti...

I guess that island was not meant to be inhabited by humans. The remaining people there should be moved somewhere else and that island should just be left as a barren land constantly struck by earthquakes and hurricanes.

Haiti is not an island. The island is called Hispaniola, and politically divided between the Republic of Haiti to the west and the Dominican Republic to the east.

Terrible.

I hope that the people of Haiti will eventually recover.

Until then, my thoughts are with the family, friends and loved ones of the deceased.

So what about Hawaii when it's vulnerable to volcanoes and tsunamis?

Most people don't die in Hawaii.

Near a volcano, the soil is fertile.

How about Italy? Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are common. Shouldn't people live there?
