I honestly was going to wait until there were no disasters - no floods, no fires - to post this. I didn't want to seems to take advantage of the situation. But then the 8.9 earthquake hit Japan with 5.x aftershocks that literally won't quit. And just remember, Bio-Bio, Chile, was devastated months ago - and their 5.x aftershocks still have not stopped!
