This title reminds me of a small town newspaper satire done, I think, by Mad Magazine. A screaming headline reads, “VACATION OF LOCAL WOMAN INTERRUPTED” in smaller type beneath it continued, “When Japan Sinks Under Sea.”

On one newscast, someone who was interviewed said that getting to them and/or getting them off the mountain will be real tough. They don’t know what areas are still in danger and the means of providing help are decimated. (paraphrasing)
