Have you ever experienced a natural disaster first hand? Tornado, Flood, Earthquake, Hurricane, Blizzard?

I live not too far from the New Madrid fault, so we've had a few. Something along the line of a 4.0, NOTHING on the magnitude of what Japan just experienced (and continues to experience).

Definitely not like the Japanese earthquake - just really minor ones where some tiles off roofs have fallen and chimneys have broken and smashed and some houses just got cracks.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
