Guest AFlameOfFire Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 A brother (on another forum's) fiancée and family are there, he also put up urgent prayers for them, I sure hope they will be alright.

Communications are down almost all over the central part of the country. 10 ft tidal surges in some places. This is really going to be a disaster of epic proportions. 16,000,000 people are affected. how do you even start to clean up that mess? We are going there in February to visit, and I am sure the effects will still be evident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
