Agreed.

Same rule applies to disasters.  Predict disaster or explain the
threat, and people react as if you are causing the disaster.  After
the disaster, everybody seems to be looking at the real causes, for a
while.

So the cartoon charactor suspended beyond a cliff face concentrating
on running is generally applicable.  They _cause_ gravity by their
inattention to immediate task.

My recommendation for donations; the Australian Red Cross.
