17. Who could have thought that Chernobyl could wipe out half a country?
My mother and I were talking about how fortunate we are to live in a region that is devoid of any major natural disasters. Then I reminder here about how we almost were wiped out when TMI had it's almost disaster. Plus I reminder her that despite not being a region that gets hit with hurricanes, tornados, major flooding, earthquakes, volcanos, tsuanamis, ebola or a host of other major disasters that instead we have to worry that we're not going to be wiped out by one of the dozen Nuclear Power plants in the tri-state area
