  1. Praying for everyone there.

    AccuWeather says rain most of the day (Monday) and then clearing. Lows 0° highs 4°C. Hypothermia could be an issue for those trapped, dehydration not so much.

    1. Praying along with you WalterF

      No fun at all for the regular people.

      Information sure is slow when this type of thing happens.

  2. Hoping this is the earth making room so it can rip California off the rest of the continent soon.

  3. That’s terrible. I wish there were more one could do to help. I hope casualties are at a minimum. My prayers for the people affected.

    1. I’m sure the Syrian government, after a decade of barrel-bombing its own citizens to remain in power, is perfectly equipped and ready to render all necessary assistance.

  4. Over a hundred billion and counting to kill Russians, let’s see how generous the west is when it comes to saving lives.
    I’m going to bet they cheap out.

    1. “Over a hundred billion and counting to kill Russians, ”

      Wrong numbers (as usual for you) but also not nearly enough.

      “I’m going to bet they cheap out.”

      I hope they do. Turkey is not an ally of civilization. Perfectly fine for God to take Erdogan down a notch.
