"This is a terrible catastrophe. No one is saying differently.

Is it Bhopal? Is it the Christmas Tsunami? Is it Galveston? 1931 Yangtze flood that left 3.7 million dead? What about the Monsoons in India, Nepal and Bangladesh that killed over 1800 and left 5 million homeless only last year? Galveston? The Twin Towers?

Thank God, this is not even close. This was bad. Terrible. And I grieve for the people who have died and have lost their homes and possessions. But thank God, it was not on the scale that the doomsayers were crying"
