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.”

While I feel badly for the woman the press’ attempt to humanize every story with a local angle does no service for the news.

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)
