Those who suffered are too busy to chat with reporters, or they're dead. So, "Praise the Lord" is what the media shows us from the survivors. I don't blame the survivors for not speaking about those who have died or lost everything. They have plenty on their minds. The media will show you the destruction, so you can make up your own mind about God's handiwork.

"Thank God my family's safe!" Never mind the first responders who pulled them out of danger.
