Wow. Those numbers seriously just amaze me. It's insane and I can't even begin to imagine how scared people in Sao Paulo must have felt. I'm glad to hear that the situation is getting better, but I thought I heard on the news that the city didn't want help from the government, like an army or something? I don't know if that changed?

And ohhh you're most definetly not a coward. If something awful were to happen in my country, I might feel like that too. I probably would too, but I do love my province a whole lot, so I don't know how I could leave, but wanting to leave is most definetly not cowardly at all *hugs*
