A thought for those in the earthquakes, tornadoes, eruptions, floods and starvation

I have been stunned privately of late with the amount of natural calamities and disasters that are occurring. 20,00 dead and many thousands more missing in one city in China alone. It is hard for me to fathom the depth of loss of life happening around the globe at present. I don't have any answers, no ideas and no solutions. but I wonder, how would it be if these calamities occurred closer to home. I shudder to think.
