Eartquake, Marokko, Sukkoth, or Fez?

Vacation ?!?
The only reason why I travel to Marocco is to go to קברי צדיקים

I'm too litvish.
Kivrei Tzadikim is a vacation/hobby. (especially when it takes you to exotic places!)

Or I say it a different way:
Thousands of people are dead and you're worried about your trip to Kivrei tzadikim?
סימני ישראל...רחמנים...???

That's your first posted reaction?
Not Hirhurei Tshuva?
We all know of the famous story of the CC and the earthquake in Japan...and this one was on Erev Slichos...

Nothing to do with being a litvak. Just a good human being and good Jew.

Prayers for everyone in Morocco.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

To be fair, his first reaction/word was “devastating” and you completely ignored that part. There are likely gentler ways to make your point.

I was there just a few weeks ago. Shocking to see pictures of the destroyed landmarks we visited and took pictures with!

Yes
Schock and fear when I look at  the news. It's just unbelievable.
Although when I walked through the Mella in Marrakesh I did ask:"how on earth does someone get to the hospital urgently through these narrow alleys?!?"

I took the "...devastating..." as part of the next line.
It sort of sounded like "Its devastating that your father died today, we were planning on golfing together on Sunday, I wonder who we could get to join our foursome"

I actually saw his post on Motzoei Shabbos, and decided not to post....
Then everyone was attacking his spelling (He's obviously a non native english speaker)... and I decided to post what bothered me.
