Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted September 29, 2009 Members Posted September 29, 2009 Associated Press... LALOMANU, Samoa – A Samoan reporter says tsunami victims "are everywhere" in a hospital near a hard-hit area and the dead could number up to 20. Associated Press reporter Keen Elsa said three or four villages on the popular tourist coast near the southern town of Lalomanu on Samoa's main island of Upolu had been "wiped out" by waves that roared ashore early Wednesday. Keni said he had visited the town's main hospital where "there are bodies everywhere," including at least one child. The Samoan government has not yet confirmed fatalities. Officials in neighboring American Samoa say at least 14 people have been killed there. Quote Pam Meddle Not In the Affairs of Dragons; for You Are Crunchy and Taste Good with Ketchup. If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony. Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?

Moderators John317 Posted September 30, 2009 Moderators Posted September 30, 2009 How awful, Nan. I hope they were ready spiritually. Let's keep praying for their families and for the people who are suffering and hurting there. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
