Thank you for the sanity break. Everyone needs to take a freeking valium, and stop buying into the blatant media incitement of trying to imagine the scariest worst-case possibilities of everything.
Unless, of course, you want to image a city on fire, without water, and you're trapped in a high-rise building there when an earthquake hits, and as the building is swaying you see a television helicopter outside the window, but before you can be on camera you run to the restroom to brush your teeth, and there are three other people in there BUT THERE ARE ONLY TWO TOOTHBRUSHES!!!!
So I aks ya, WHO gets denied?!! Huh????!!! WHO??????!!!!!!
In this case people who have a responsibility to plan for the worst case in order to be prepared were reported on by the media. The planners did what they are supposed to do; they planned. The reporters did what they are supposed to; they reported. And I did what I was supposed to do; I considered the situation and said to myself; "sounds like they have that part under control."
I also repressed the urge to set the caps lock and hold down punctuation keys.
