READER LETTER | Pray for Turkey in her hours of grief, destruction: Disaster such as earthquakes are unexpected, sudden and overwhelming.
The Turkish earthquake which lasted 2 minutes was 120 seconds of terror that altered the entire geographical landscape of the area, sending tremors across 10 countries in an orgy of destruction that terrified an entire continent.
Forty-five nations have rallied to help a stunned nation. The entire world witnessed tragedy and heroism on a monumental scale. The victims and survivors are witnessing painful nightmares as thousands of after-shocks terrify a shattered environment. Our heartfelt prayers for the people of Turkey continue unabated, our human spirit cause us to feel anxious, worried and afraid as we witness in 3D death and desolation, unseen for many decades.
In these trying days, we must remember the words of Neil de Grasse Tyson:"Even with our technology and the inventions that make modern life so much easier than it was once, it takes just one big natural disaster to wipe all that away and remind us that, here on Earth, were are still at the mercy of nature.”
