This is horrific. The damages were widespread from the mountain area to cities and villages. Even after the dead are found and buried and all of the rubble is cleared the standing buildings that appear to be good will likely have hairline cracks. When they get a heavy rain water will seep into the cracks and accumulate in the ceilings and cause collapses. There isn鈥檛 any warning when that happens.

@cherokeepatti It breaks my heart thinking of it. I've been watching the news, seeing the buildings...old brick crumbling to dust.

@4meAndyou yes and Morocco has a very high poverty rate. People living in those villages probably don鈥檛 have much to begin with and some of them have lost everything now. If a breadwinner gets injured and can鈥檛 work that鈥檚 a terrible hardship for the entire family. This earthquake is hurting them on so many levels.

@cherokeepatti I hope Asmae made it through.
