So this morning/last night, Japan was hit with an 8.9 richter earthquake, which puts Japan @ number 5 for the strongest earthquakes ever recorded. Then, shortly after Japan was followed by a tsunami. So far, as of this moment 40 people in Japan have been killed and there are at least 39 missing. However, this number is expected to go up, as a ship, carrying at least 100 people was supposedly swept up by the tsunami. Now, literally a few minutes ago the tsunami has hit Hawaii and is expected to hit parts of the west coast, including much of California in about a little over an hour.
Talk about waking up to some news this morning! It seems lately like there have been SO many natural disasters happening lately and it is kind of scary! Usually every morning I watch the Today show & definitely was surprised to see what they were covering today. God bless all those people and hope that the U.S. is able to evacuate everyone before the waves start to hit.
