To say the very least. April was definitely a bad month. This is a short list of some of the things that happened this past month but it is by no means a complete list. If you think of anything else add it on..
In the month of April - not in order - Thousands were displaced by a 6.2 earthquake & Tsunami in Chili. Russia invaded the Ukraine, a Korean ferry sinks with over 300 people perishing. 79 were injured and 3 dead in yet another Chinese train attack, Tornado outbreaks at end of month of April killed at least 40 people across the Southeastern United States.
The president declared parts of Mississippi and Indiana as disaster zones. The Ft. Hood shooting takes place April 2, 2014, 16 are injured and several are announced dead in first reports, the Solomon Islands were flooded and thousands of homes washed away with dozens reported missing, more deaths, 100 girls are kidnapped from a Nigerian school during an Islamic uprising mid April.
The Bundy Stand-off with the federal govt was stressful - happened in April - An Egyptian judge sentenced 683 people to death the other day. According to one news source there are over 1 million people who have left the workforce in the month of April 2014. There was an epic storm in Fla with flooding in Pensacola that was just unbelievable.
Just a few days ago - April news report - I read that China announced she would be doing naval drills with Russia in the South China Sea. That is very disturbing news to me.
Mount Everest just had the deadliest avalanche in recorded history in April- loss of life again - A coding error Causes internet scare on April 10 and Security experts advise computer users to change their passwords. The clippers owner was banned for life for scandal in media.
During the month of April there were 106 earthquakes 4.5 or greater worldwide from April 4 - 10. What happened before and after April 10th I haven't looked up.
Is there anything I've missed? If you can think of something mention it! April was a very bad month, folks!
No wonder the past month was so stressful! One more terrible happening in April... the attack on the snyagogue.

In the wake of Sunday's shootings, the Jewish community celebrates a Holy Week. Monday marks the first night of Passover, which means many congregations are hosting Seder meals.
Rabbi Arthur Nemitoff of the Temple, Congregation B'Nai Jehudah says security is undoubtedly on their minds.
"I know our congregation is concerned about security and we have begun the discussion with police, as well as internally, to make sure people feel safe and secure," Nemitoff said.
Still, he stressed that Sunday's attacks at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City and Village Shalom were random acts that could not necessarily have been avoided.
"The event that occurred, those were outside the building in the parking lot. Nothing could have avoided that from happening other than not having a crazed person on the street," the rabbi said.
Correction on OP -
*** Ukraine - Russian conflict began in Feb. Escalated substantially in April.
