Was it in the United States too?

was the question my dear girl asked me this morning, about the 2010 Haiti earthquake.  I have no idea how this conversation started.  I explained that there are earthquakes happening all the time, in all different places, but that when one happens here, it isn't happening somewhere else.  We wound up watching video of the 1989 San Francisco earthquake.  I didn't remember much of it because I was 11 when it happened, but watching it today with her made me see it with a whole new set of lenses.  She asked if all the people that died, were they all put in a hole together?  Did a big truck come and pick up the bodies?  What happened to the roads that crashed?  Are they still there like that?
Explaining to her that it took about 4 months to clean the roads up (demolition and rubble removal), and that no, all the dead people went to morgues and had regular burials felt like I was pouring salt on wounds somehow.  Within minutes of that eq, emergency personnel were freeing trapped people.  A day later, huge military helicopters brought in construction equipment to break up concrete and remove rebar.
None of those things even exist in this place.  She then asked to watch something from the Haiti eq.  We made it about 4 minutes, and she said that was enough.  She said that people just kept pleading the blood of Jesus, but why would they do that if Jesus is the one who caused it?
I tried to explain that Jesus didn't cause it, that it just happened because of the world we live in.  She didn't buy it.  She pacified me by saying, maybe you're right.  Come sweet Jesus, come.
