Ya that is something..

Actually, I'm from that area.. Some people I know have apparently lost their entire families in the floods..

What’s worse, the survivors will have one hell of a time to get back to their "normal" lives.. Reconstruction, drinking water, etc ..

Sadness..

I saw it at the hotel, it makes me feel delirious and speechless..it's not often I'm at a lost for words. I have family in Vietnam, so I, too, have been and am scared for you never know what else happens. Look at the numbers, it's now 56000+ in deaths. Jeebus..
