Miracles and disasters

I’ve been watching the very sad and disturbing news stories about the earthquake in Haiti.  It boggles my mind to see how much destruction was caused.  Yet I hear nothing about any damage to the Dominican Republic, which is part of the same island!  How can an earthquake that huge not had any effect to that part of the island?  The stories about medical personnel leaving their clinics in the middle of the night out of security concerns, leaving so many injured victims to fend for them themselves overnight was really disturbing!  And the stories about so many survivors being pulled out of the rubble so many days after the quake are simply miraculous! 

I pray for the healing of all of the victims and their friends and families.  So very sad.
