> I can't watch it. It is all just too intense. I really have been avoiding the news lately b/c I find this whole situation too upsetting. I do sometimes read stories on-line. That way I can have more control over how much I see/read. I'm not even in that part of the country, but it is too much for me to take.

> EEE, I've been working at a shelter for about a week now. I see and hear all the stories and tragedies that have occurred for so many. I literally watched the news all day when it first started that I watched the same viewings twice over. It has now been 3 days since I watched the news. It is kind of like 9-11, after so much, you just can't take it.
