The world mourns today hearing of the most powerful earth quake that the world has ever seen and the greatest one ever recorded in Japan. Some stations are reporting it as an eight.2 while others are reporting it at 8.9 on the Richter scale. The day was spent watching for reports of the locations and devastation that the resulting tsunami might produce. So far Hawaii has seen some destruction from it which was reported to be traveling up to 600 miles per hour on the open sea. Anticipated locations were predicted to include the West Coast from California thru the coastal regions of Alaska. Reports have presumed hundreds of deaths have occurred in Japan, but so far only one death has been recorded off the coast of California. I would expect that the death toll in Japan will be in the thousands as more people are found or are missing. They continue to have strong after shocks at this time.
It seems that the past year has been a year of man made turmoil and natural disasters. Let us hope for a better season when spring comes Sunday morning.
