8.9 Earthquake Hits Japan:
I was going to do a review but this happened and I feel this is more important than what I was planning on writing. There are tsunami videos on CNN and Fox News about this incident. It's wild to turn on the television and see water pushing cars through a city. There's also an oil refinery on fire. I did a blog on this last year about the possibility of more natural disasters striking and boy was I dead on. Hate being right about this stuff but I had a feeling that it would start up again. Anyone else notice how many more major earthquakes there have been over the past two years? Haiti started it and look at the major ones since. The whole city on the news is underwater and Tokyo is in chaos. There were earthquakes near Honshu of 6.3 and 7.1. Russia, Hawaii, Taiwan, Marshall Islands, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Australia, among others. 6.8 aftershock in Tokyo too. Hawaii should be getting hit at 2:59 am. More to follow on the blog. I'll try to get some updates up before I go to bed.
