A terrible disaster, the level of it illustrated by those pics. March 19 is the date of the "super moon". Astrologers had predicted storms and earthquakes because the moon will be just 221,567 miles away from Earth on that date. Scientists have said there is no connection of this with the Japan Earthquake.

Quite a mess but they should have things back in order in no time. A lot of lost lives though.
Peace to everyone in Samurai land........Hope you find your strength to pull thru....

I wish them a swift recovery.
My heart goes out to the Japanese people, this is a terrible catastrophic event. The silver lining is that Japan has come back before and is a very industrious country and their people have behaved orderly and admirably.

I finally heard from my sweetie over in Tokyo. She had driven north to Yamagata to check on her parents because cell signals are just swamped and the power issues are causing havoc. But she's home now and I feel much better about that. Holy crap I was worried...
