We have an elaborate relief system in our country; I'm in Oklahoma and yeah we had some tornado damage and deaths, one town was torn up a lot. Had a report on the progress down there, cleanup is moving along because we have a lot of volunteers that come in from all over the state to help out. I know several people who live in the town. What happened in Japan dwarfs the isolated disasters we experienced. Hundreds of miles of cities were decimated, everything gone.
