Another Need for Prayer

In this past 365 days we have seen disasters from Tsunami, Hurricane, and more. Now we can add Earthquake to the list of large-scale disasters.

As many as 18,000 people were reported dead and thousands feared trapped in debris after a powerful earthquake struck northern Pakistan on Saturday, entombing hundreds of children in their schools, collapsing a high-rise apartment building in the Pakistani capital and devastating an untold number of villages.
The 7.6-magnitude quake struck just after 8:50 a.m. Saturday in the disputed territory of Kashmir. The epicenter was in a mountainous region about 60 miles northeast of Islamabad, Pakistan's capital, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The toll rose sharply today as rescuers struggled to dig people from the wreckage, their work made more difficult as rain and hail turned dirt and debris into sticky muck.

Here's hoping we don't have to add Volcano to the list before the end of the year!
