My prayers go out to those in Japan affected by the earthquake and resulting tsunami that hit the country's shores earlier today. It is a tragic event that gave the Japanese people little to no warning.
Even with a rush of overwhelming footage taken of the destruction in Japan that has happened thus far, it is hard to fathom what an 8.9 earthquake would feel like when some of the most devastating quakes in history measured in the sevens on the Richter magnitude scale, such as last year's Haitian shock or the great San Francisco quake of 1906.
I hope Japan is able to recover soon during the aftermath and the death toll is lower than some are predicting. As far as the U.S. goes, with any luck the amount of time we have had to prepare and the great distance the waves have traveled with lessen the impact and destructive force of the tsunami in Hawaii and the west coast of America.
