Earthquake Update – Bad Stuff
January 12th, 2009
Now I can Blog about something really important after having to deal with that earlier time-waster.
Earthquakes never bothered me before. The house would rock and roll and everyone would call everyone to find out if they felt it. Kind of exciting really. There was always damage somewhere in Costa Rica, and occasionally, someone would be seriously hurt or die, but for some reason, I was detached from it. Not any more.
Latest stats look better than they are and do not tell the whole story:
Most recent death count: 14 (way down from earlier but I am not at all sure we have the final number)
Missing and presumed dead: 23
Injured: 100
These sound like low numbers… until you read this:
