5. The photo that crushed me...

was of a husband and wife standing and looking into a very crumpled and smashed car buried in the mud surrounded by debris. The caption was "Parents find the body of their daughter who in driving school."

What a horrific discovery. :cry:

7. The one that got me was of a middle aged woman sobbing while holding the hand

of her deceased elderly mother (who was mostly buried under mud and the debris of their home). The caption said that the woman's daughter was also missing. My heart just broke for her. :cry: :cry: :cry:

8. While none of us know exactly what she is thinking and feeling in that photo...

...the pain comes through loud and clear, and she is one of thousands feeling it. That's the overwhelming part, the number of people suffering, people who have lost everything.
