Devastation and loss

Friday.
Well it started off to be such a beautiful day..until I turned on the morning news.  Japan was hit with a tremendous earthquake 8.9 magnitude, the largest in that country's history, which in turn triggered a massive Tsunami causing further devastation which then caused a Tsunami warning here on the Pacific coast causing more damage further south in Oregon and Calif.  The pictures are incredible; I've been glued to the set all day; we are only an hr off the coast and although we wouldn't be directly affected, we need to be prepared for anything.  My heart goes out to you Japan.
