Freaky, but we are so lucky compared to Honduras and Haiti right now ............ thank our lucky stars for a small population, good emergency response and lots of vegetation still growing lushly in the judgles and on mountainsides.
Can you imagine how things would be if we'd allowed rampant logging.

On the other hand - how much water can we take?! the lake that is our backyard is still very deep even though neighbors are pumping it out at the rate of 5,000 gallons an hour.
