Earthquake in Morocco...

Today there was an earthquake in Northern Morocco. According to CNN there were at least 564 dead as of Tuesday Morning. My family is ok I assume, they live a few hundred miles south of the epicenter. The quake occured at about 2:28 a.m. with a magnitude of 6.5. The people who died were peasants living mud huts in rural villages near the city of Al-Houceima.

Life is strange. I wonder why I have been spared the many tragedies that occur daily. It only reaffirms my desire to live my life to the fullest.
