More mini quakes last night here in Reno area that shook for sustained moments in time. I'm feeling a little guilty for feeling emotionally shaken. About the only thing I have to worry about since the whole earthquake swarm started in February is that we've lost a lot of glassware, there are a few new cracks walls, and have to walk carefully out front now because there are uneven slabs of concrete on the sidewalk. I don't sleep well because I know it can get worse ... but it hasn't gotten worse. I try to tell myself not worrying about something I have absolutely no control over.
But I do have some control over helping others that have gone through my worse nightmare and survived. I was reading through some of the numbers and looking at the pictures from the China's earthquakes devestation. To me it is particularly depressing to see the images of schools that were destroyed. I can only try to imagine the profound loss of losing your only child in a natural disaster and knowing they died in terror and pain.
Here is a few links I've found to make even a small donation.
