When I heard the Icelandic volcano had erupted and airports in Europe were closed....huh....what? It was one week until I was meant to fly to SF for my sister's wedding and the infamous ash cloud was being tracked by everyone. Luckily no one in Iceland was hurt. Though, 600,000 people were stranded by the second day and all I heard about were stories of people trying to make their way home. It wasn't until 5 days later did they open up the airports. The good news is I did get on my flight and made it to my sister's wedding.
Disasters seem to be happening more often and are closely spaced together - Thailand Tsunami, Haiti devastation, earthquake in Chile, possible Tsunami warning in the entire pacific basin (I was in the Philippines when this warning came out), Iceland volcano erupting, oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Natural disasters do happen, however I don't think we are treating mother nature very well.
