As we all know, the nation of Japan was hit not only with a massive earthquake to tear up anything in sight, but add to it, a 23 foot tsunami that swept the country....and to boot, more than 50 aftershocks that reached up to a 6.0 magnitude. Think of it as Hiroshima/Nagasaki lite. I know many Japanese, and they're a strong, and intelligent people. Hard working, and will not start rioting, nor sitting idle, nor start a mass looting, while there is work to be done. These aren't the people that will sit around playing cards or dominoes and expect others to do the work for them. The Japanese, are a people, that will show forth solidarity, once again, in a time of great strife and chaos. My prayers are for them and hoping them all the best. To add more bad news, there are approximately 500 dead, over 500 missing and nearly 800 injured. Many of the areas that the tsunami hit, were evacuated, but still, it was on such a short notice.
This earthquake was so bad, that some of the tsunami waves hit Hawaii, but minor damage was called in. An alert has been called for the areas from Alaska, to coastal countries of South America, basically, the entire right half of the infamous "Ring of Fire"
