So sorry to hear about the ship's crew members. frown


What not to do?


1) Don't believe everything you hear.

In the chaos of a disaster, even authoritative sources can be misinforming. One apartment building was told they'd have the water running again ASAP, only to find that "soon" was much later than anticipated. At the earler news, several people had emptied their bathtubs of water -- which apparently was their only emergency supply.


2) Don't go outside if you can help it.

Several people lost their lives due to falling trees/debris and at least one unfortunate person got electrocuted by stepping into water.



3) Don't give in to anxiety or despair. Disasters can really bring out the best in people -- even hard-nosed city folk.



Thoughts and prayers go out to those living in the affected areas....
