What is happening to our world? At noon today I got earthquake coverage with no thirty day wait before it takes effect. Somehow I didn't take the waiver of the waiting period as good news but as a sign that imminent catastrophe is nigh. Being tuned in to CNN News and watching repeats of the 9/11 terrorist attack five years ago. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing. As I dressed for work, I saw the first plane crash into the World Trade Center and was horrified that such an accident could have happened. Within 5 minutes a second plane crashed into the other tower I knew then that America was under attack and that nothing would ever be quite the same again.

I watched the grieving faces of the people this morning who lost loved ones and heard their words as they told a husband, wife, father or mother that they will always love them I saw the children now five years older who lost a parent and the loving guidance in their young lives. None of us will ever forget 9/11, it was seared into our memory and hearts as the day America became less secure.

I live in the aftermath of a hurricane named Katrina. I have been consistent in voicing my opinion that something was abnormal about the storm as I have experienced quite a few of them in my life. I have likened the water that came in on our shoreline as a tsunami. So many people laughed and said how "way out" I was but now we have had a 6.0 earthquake in the Gulf and just a little higher on the Richter scale it would have generated a tsunami. The BIG question is why are we experiencing earthquake tremors etc. in the southeast? If one occurs here, of all places, what comes next?
