My city was rocked by more quakes on Monday with a 6.3 magnitude one causing more damage to our all ready busted up infrastructure. Our house is damaged but we are still fortunate-there are people whose homes will have been flooded and full of liquefaction for the second and third times and power and water are still not back on for these same poor people. Even as I write this, a significant aftershock has just occurred.
It appears more difficult to put a positive slant on this. People are so tired and this state of limbo is so upsetting and frustrating.
I suppose that as I begin on this new part of my life, I really want to acknowledge the continuing tradgdy and devastation my poor city is facing.
AMELIORATE v. to make better
