8.9 Earthquake, 13 foot Tsunami

An earthquake rocked he northeast coast of Japan less than 2 hours ago. I was watching Fox News when the alert hit the air. At first it was said to be a 7.9, then was upgraded to an 8.8, then to an 8.9. That is in the top 7 worst earthquakes on earth...ever!! At least what modern technology knows of. And then, a tremor hit...7.4! This is bad, very bad.

An area flooded by the tsunami in Iwaki, was Fukushima Prefecture in Japan. Japanese technology is such that choppers were deployed almost immediately after an earthquake struck, giving the world the first ever aerial view of the actual tsunami hitting land. It looked more like the special effects in a movie rather than real life. Fukushima Prefecture is devastated.

Those houses, buildings, and cars...probably had a lot of God's people in them. It's a horrible thought. We will no doubt be hearing about the loss of life in the next hours, days, and it may take months to get a total for lives lost.

This devastation will not be in Japan alone. It is expected to hit many other places in the world. Tsunami warnings are out for many different countries as well as parts of the US.

Please take the time to think about the people that have been and will be touched by this event, and say prayers, lots of prayers. God is truly their only hope.
