OMFG - heavy rain in Haiti - school collapses killing

[malaise]

three children.

How much more can the Haitian people tolerate? :cry: :cry:

[csziggy]

1. The poor families - to survive the earthquake then lose their children now.

:cry:

[Emit]

2. This is just horrible!

So sad

[spanone]

4. My heart REALLY goes out to all the people living in tents and under tarps right now.

5. My fear since day 1

Disease and more suffering is at hand.

[malaise]

12. Malaria, dengue fever and gastro-enteritis

for starters

[formercia]

16. Thousands of unburied corpses under the rubble.

Their dead relatives coming back to pull the living into the Grave.

[malaise]

18. LOL

I'm more sure that the rains will expose thousands of missing bodies. I only hope families can find closure by recognizing hair, teeth, clothing, etc.

19. Isn't he a former drug addict?

If so, the ones that use religion to reform have a bad track record. Better that he lay low. But that's not likely, he'd have to get a job cuz he sucks as an actor in evil Hollywood.

6. Oh no -- I heard just this morning that they were concerned about

the rains that were due to come. :( I thought they were referring to a rainy season, some time in the future. Not NOW!

AND, I heard a reporter this morning saying that we keep thinking they have tents, when many really only had a sheet covering them -- if that. :cry:

[malaise]

7. Rainy season is coming

I noticed the yellow pouis in bloom here this morning - that's a sure sign. We are desperate for the rain as we're facing the worst drought in three decades, but Haiti sure doesn't need the rain that will be here within two weeks.

8. My God I hope they can get some more shelters up and running

by then. These people must just feel like when things are maybe starting to head in the right direction, they get kicked in the gut again.

10. I just looked at the weather map

and the rain in Haiti today was way up North not in the areas devastated by the earthquake. That said there must be many buildings on the verge of collapse across Haiti.

9. This is just heart breaking

So sad.

[Political Heretic]

11. And the US is pulling out.

:eyes:

[gateley]

13. I swear I hadn't heard that! Why? Do we know? Thanks. nt

[malaise]

14. Not pulling out

just reducing the military presence from 20,000 to 12,000.

[gateley]

17. Wow, that's quite a cutback, but I guess it's understandable since

our military is needed elsewhere to fight the war on terra. :eyes:

[winyanstaz]

15. They need a lot more help then they are getting.....

I understand many have recieved NO help as of yet.
At the same time...we have a disaster in the Southern Dakotas...and they aren't getting much help yet either...
