[quote:Anonymous Coward 27175180:MV8yMDQ0MzA3XzM0MzU1MzYwXzI2RDkwMjM4] Sometimes I wonder if the "rapture" isn't taking place incrementally as catastrophe strikes each region. Sure they could just be missing or trapped in the rubble...or COULD they? [/quote]

Hundreds of rescuers are sifting debris of wrecked towns for survivors of Wednesday's earthquake in Guatemala.
The 7.4-magnitude tremor, the most powerful to hit Guatemala since 1976, left at least 52 people dead, many more injured and thousands without power.
President Otto Perez Molina told the BBC that 22 people were still missing and as many as 10,000 houses may have been rendered uninhabitable.
Most of the damage was in San Marcos region, near the border with Mexico.
The president, who visited the affected area on Wednesday, declared three days of mourning.
