I'm sure many of you awoke to hear about the quake that shook Japan today, I just want to send my heart out to those poor people and hope they have a speedy recovery from such a devastating event

NEWS is still sketchy so far but hundreds dead from tsunami which measured 8.9 magnitude. There are tsunami watches for the West Coast of North America.

My thoughts are for all in Japan, Hawaii, and the West Coast. I hope many missing are found safe. I hope all members and families in the disaster areas are safe.

All of our thoughts and prayer go to all of those who have been caugh up in this.

An estimated 4 million people in Japan are without electricity.

I have been watching video of the area for the last hour or so, wow.

At least one member of the Archive is from Japan. I mean Wellesley. I hope he is ok.

I know of others who have relatives in Japan, I hope they are alright as well.

Gegen das Beben kann man leider nix machen. Alles andere ist eigen oder besser

gesagt, "Hausgemachte" Katastrophe. Trotzdem gilt mein Beileid allen, die einen Verlust

zu beklagen haben. Hoffentlich kommt es nicht zur Schmelze!

8.9 on the Richter Scale is just HUGE

That is one of the BIGGEST earthquakes ever...
