Japan....

So I just wanted to talk a little about the earthquakes that are destroying the country of Japan. At first I only heard that there was an earthquake and thought nothing of it. But then after watching several news bulletins and reports, I realized the magnitude and seriousness of the earthquakes and what the situation that the people of Japan are being faced with.  There have been countless aftershocks after the initial earthquake that left the Japanese people in a state of panic and emergency. Tidal waves/tsunamis were striking the coast and taken out everything in their path. There has been nuclear power plant explosions and fires have been spreading. Thousands of people have died from what we know but the death toll could still rise. I even saw several videos were the docks and homes were destroyed and boats are just floating around or have sunk.  There was one video in particular that amazed me. It should a large shipping vessel being swallowed into the ocean; it almost looked like a gigantic whirl pool. It honestly looked fake like something you would see in a movie, like “the day after tomorrow” when they showed cruise ship In the middle of New York City. When you see something of that magnitude you think that it is a special effect not a real occurrence.  It scares me to think of what could possibly happen if an earth quake hit the Jersey Shore or anywhere close to here. Thousands of lives would be lost and millions of dollars in damage to businesses and life would occur. It makes me think that nothing is certain in anyone’s life. In my opinion Mother Nature is going to take its course, whether it be hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. Hopefully nothing like this happens again in the world for a least a few years.
