Ken Bourland was in Haiti for military work. He was staying at the Hotel Montana near Port-au-Prince. Ten minutes before the earthquake hit he had sent any email to his wife Peggy, who lives in South Florida, that he was all settled in and doing great. The earthquake shattered the Hotel Montana. This hotel was a common stay place for tourists and visitors. In recent days students from South Florida's Lynn University have been recovered from the rubble of the hotel so there is still room for optimism. Like thousands of others, all Peggy can do right now is wait and hope to hear from her husband.
This earthquake is becoming more devastating by the minute. Not only has it destroyed the capital of Haiti but it has potentially devastated the lives of thousands of people who have lost loved ones to the quake. Reading all of these stories I want to fly down to Haiti and just search for people and dig through rubble. Since they don't have enough help to search for people, survivors might die. It is hard to just sit back and watch all of this going on in the news. Natural disastors are so extremely devastating because there is no one to blame and no allies to ask for help. I just hope that the survivors of the quake that are buried in the rubble are found in time before they die from starvation or dehydration.
