Fortunately, I don't live anywhere near it - I'm clear on the other side of the state. Writing about disasters as news stories ... I won't say it doesn't bother me, but it's sort of like being a doctor, in that after so seeing/hearing so many things over the years, you get to a point where it doesn't bother you as much. What the problem turns *into* is trying to write it so that other people care, with just enough details and style to make it interesting, without descending to a level that makes it overblown and maudlin. THAT is the part I was having problems with last night. Sad stuff happened and no matter how you show it, it's sad stuff.
