Terrible news out of Japan today. The nation has suffered the largest earthquake in over 140 years, an 8.9 quake that has caused utter devastation and killed hundreds. On top of that, the quake has caused a massive Tsunami that has wiped out entire coastal towns and caused a nuclear reactor to begin leaking dangerous chemicals, evacuating another city. There seems to be no end to the chaos that is enveloping the world.
Our thoughts are with the Japanese people who are stranded or lost at sea, and prayers are with the families of those who have lost their lives due to this catastrophe.
***UPDATE***
Naoto Kan, the Japanese Prime Minister has reported that none of the nation’s nuclear reactors have shown any sign of damage, and the towns surrounding them do not need to be evacuated. A small token of good news coming out of this horrible story, at least the worst seems to be over.
