My heart goes to people out there

Reading the news on storm approaching the big apple and felt so glad that we are here safe from the storm, but my heart goes out to those people out there. It must be terrifying to be told a life threatening storm approaching their homes and that they have to evacuate, leaving all their belongings. "Nature is much more powerful than us" as quoted in the news..knowing this how would you feel? what would you do? There is nothing one could do but to stay together for as long as possible and brace themselves through it. There is nothing one could really bring except themselves. Looking within and beyond, we could spend years accumulating our assets, the so call belongings, but eventually do they really belong to us? Probably not. Nothing can really belong to us except ourselves. If everyone were to have these in mind before nature throw us in a dire situation, will we be happier? Will we then be more comfortable with ourselves and be contented? 

Humans perhaps are not as weak as nature can deem us to be. We just have to learn to go with the flow so we can ride through such adversity..like how many small little creatures, living being have survived through centuries. Perhaps it's a reminder for us to be in tune of what we are made of and our purpose on earth and the strength that made us uniquely human. For us who are watching these news, let us pray for them and garner the strength for people out there.
We just have to believe that everything will be fine eventually. 
And guess this is faith.
