Prayers for Japan

This morning Japan was rocked by a horrifying earthquake. It rocked the area at a 8.9 magnitude, considered the worst for Japan, and the 5th worst in the world in over 111 years. Now hundreds are now confirmed dead, hundreds missing, and thousands injured. But that doesn't stop there. Right after the quake came the threat of tsunami, and then tsunami threats for the rest of the Pacific.

As if it wasn't bad enough with an earthquake that powerful, it was quickly followed by a tsunami that reached up to 33 feet. I saw footage this morning of a wall of water easily sweeping up cars, and homes and carrying it all the way out into farmland. It was as if watching someone pouring a big amount of water over ants. There is no way to prevent it, and no defenses against it.

Another threat for Japan is the Nuclear plants. Althought nothing severe has happened yet, the threat of a nuclear leak remains. That that leaves the question of if a nuclear radiation leak is possible. Many people are racing to stop the rise of the nuclear energy, but so far they have not been making progress.

Japan wasn't the only place to feel the effects. Islands in the Pacific has been rumored to be consumed by the high waters, and earlier this morning Hawaii and the U.S. West Coast have been under threat of a Tsunami. In Hawaii, the water receeded to the point of seeing the reefs, before coming back hard with 10 foot waves. And same goes for the coast that is being hit with 7 foot waves.

Many countries are already running to aide. The U.S. says that they are prepared to assist when needed, and I am sure that other countries have done the same. I guess alot of people are wanting to leave and evacuations will be taking place very soon.

Now remains the question about fatalities and casualties. Sadly, I am sure that the death toll will continue to rise. And I am sure casualties will reach record highs. And structures and buildings will surely be unrecognizable or flattened entirely. And that goes for any other place effected by this.

I am sure that this day will be remembered by all of the big natural disasters like Haiti and Indonesia. We can only hope that this does not have the same number of disasters that was experienced on those days. But while Japan remains in one of it's darkest days, we can only pray and hope for the best outcome possible in this situation.

I am sure that talks are already in progress to see how they can flood the countries with money. They may do a telethon like they did for Haiti and Indonesia. And I am sure donations are already being made to assist in this disaster. If you find anything that associates with donations or relief, please post it in here! And that also goes for any future information that comes after this post is released. And if you do see anything, I encourage you to donate, because this country will need all the help they can get.

Japan, and other countries being affected right now: You are in our prayers and we hope for the safety of everyone!
