When tragedy strikes ...Haiti

Haiti has been on the receiving end of a catastrophic earthquake. Reports have suggested that the death toll could be upwards of 100,000 and that it may take 60 years to rebuild the destruction. In scenes reminiscent of the 2004 Tsunami, total destruction and loss of life has once again occurred. Haiti, home to 10 million, will now start the new year, mourning, rebuilding and refocussing on the future.

Warnings can be given, but really who is prepared for such natural disasters? Haiti, seemingly situated on fragile plates, received a massive quake. Thoughts and prayer go out to those lost, those who lost and those who retained but will battle physical and psychological issues in overcoming such enormous destruction.
