Default Budget Hit With Disasters

Every time I turn on the news or pick up the newspaper it seems That I see more and more distruction being done by floods, tornados, and slides. Just like it seems that just as we all seem to be getting things slightly back on track in this country, mother nature throws a hissy fit and derails it all. Money for reconstruction, replacements and so on are gonna have to come from somewhere.

I worry about all those people in the southern states who have been hit so hard. So many people lost their lives, lives of loved ones and friends and on top of all that many lost every single thing that they ever owned.

It is practically impossible for someone who has never lost everything to understand what that must be like. I have so in a small way I know what they are going through.

I hope that they get their lives put back together fairly soon.

Joplin, Missouri really got slammed with that tornado, a quarter of the city is gone and so many dead and so many others homeless.

It is so sad that things like this happen and it costs so much to rebuild homes and lives.

Then theres Alabama that got hit before that. And right now the weather forecast states that there is the potential for more severe weather all this week.

Our tornado and hurricane seasons seem to be getting more and more volitile but these thing happen in cycles. I am hoping that the bad weather quits soon and that these people can get the help they need to rebuild their lives.

Every year things are getting worse. I wish there was a way to stop it from happening but I don't know how anyone would manage that.

Last I heard about Joplin was that the death toll was 116 and rising. Nearly the entire high school was destroyed, the hospital was severly damaged and as we all already know many homes and places of business were also destroyed or damaged.
