My heart goes out to Japan; a tragedy of this magnitude is a tragedy for all humanity. So relieved to find out the family is OK.

Not all earthquakes create tsunamis either. Japan did very good in preparing for a powerful earthquake, but I am not sure anyone can prepare for such a terrible tsunami, no matter what. <strong>James des:</strong> I hope you heard back from your friends by now. I heard back from everyone, so that's good. As for volunterring, groups like the Red Cross do take volunteers, so you may want to check there. I was thinking about that too. <strong>Cocomino:</strong> :) Hi Everyone,

I am also relieved to know that 1 out of 3 of my friends are okay but Im not sure about the other two, but they live in Tokyo so probably okay. I have been thinking that Japan has been due for a big quake lately but I do hate to be right about things like this. It really hurts to see the damage along the coast, I was just through that area back last September. I hate knowing there are so many people uprooted from there daily lives right now because of this. For some reason the Tohoku region has always been my favorite part of Japan. I was planning a visit to Japan this October but now Im thinking about going over for some kind of volunteer clean up work instead. Does any one have any ideas about this ?

I figured you would cover it soon. Some of the video I've seen is amazing in terms of how fast the water moved over farmland. It looks so unreal, especially the burning water due to the amount of debris in the water. Hopefully they get the power plant under control too. I agree about not just praying. There are other things we can do, even if it's just our own preparedness. I'll be watching how things unfold. Glad to hear the family over there is OK. I figured you would cover it soon.
