There are countless moments in our history of events and tragedies that simply can not be explained. There are risks existing in virtually every location on the globe.

To try and justify or state "there must be a reason God allowed this to happen" defies logic or reason. Which is why religion is based on faith, I suppose.

Even the scientists are trying to fully understand the why's and how's with regard to its enormity.

Bottom line is no one likely has all the answers.

Some turn to their faiths, some turn to science, many try and turn a bit closer to both.

The images get worse and worse, the stories get sadder and sadder. And we know it will get MUCH worse before it gets any better.

Let's also hope that the political turmoil currently going on in that region can take a break and keep its fingers out of the relief efforts that will try to somehow restore some sense or normalcy to life there.
