I'm going to Hell

I've never been in a huge natural disaster before, but I've felt 2 earthquakes and nearly got blown over by a very strong wind, does that count? Seriously the wind was really strong, it took down a massive tree outside my school, it could've been that hurricane which was supposed in Britain a few years ago.

Anyway if you were in a huge national disaster like a 9.5 on the Richter Scale Earthquake, or a 40ft high tidal wave, theres certain things you'd like afterwards:

1. Tinned Food
2. Fresh Water
3. Blankets
4. Someone you don't know asking their imaginary friend for help
5. A Good Doctor, a clean operating theatre and a large needle filled with Morphine

What I don't get is when people in different countries say "What can I do to help?", and instead of saying, "give money", or "kidnap a Doctor and transport him over there", they instead say "Pray". Yeah, right. Prayer is what you'd really need isn't it? Not supplies, or well trained staff, or a new house, prayer will tide you over.
