Just a drizzle, Ed

Poor baby. Let's compare with impact produced mega tsunami, which happen all too often:

Drizzle:
-I am just now getting the dsl service back up at the house.
Mega-Tsunami:
-There is no dsl, but it doesn't matter, as you aren't around to use it

Drizle:
- I-10, under the weight of that water for two days, is buckling apart in places. Ditto for other freeways and interstates in the area.
Mega-Tsunami:
- Freeways buckle apart, but it doesn't matter, as there is no traffic, as no one is alive to drive.

Drizzle:
- Hospitals are operating under huge stress, and the open ones are over-crowded. Surgeries are being put off.
Mega-Tsunami:
- There are no hospitals, but it doesn't matter, as not only are there no doctors, there are no patients.

Drizzle:
- At least some blood banks have been destroyed.
Mega-Tsunami:
- All blood banks destroyed, but not only is there no one left alive to need blood, there is no one left alive to donate.

Drizzle:
- Computer networks for banking transactions are down.
Mega-Tsunami:
- Computer networks a thing of the recent past, but it doesn't matter, as not only are there are no computers, there are no users left either.

Drizzle:
- Cell phone networks are spotty at best.
Mega-Tsunami:
- No cell phone network is left, but it doesn't matter, as there is no one around to call.

Drizzle:
- We as a city are coming together like never before.
Mega-Tsunami:
- City comes together as never before: all residents united in serving as fish food.
