Hated waking up to this news. 
8.9 Earthquake hits Japan.
- Thread starter Captain Lobster
- Start date
That is huge.
I was in the World Series earthquake and this one makes it look like a ripple.
There's alot of crazy stuff going on in the world.
Are there more natural disasters in the world lately, or do we just hear about them because of technology?

Wow. What a sad day. I can't imagine watching your home be flooded, burned etc and just being helpless and wondering how am I going to feed my family for the next???
Growing up we hosted 5 exchange students from Japan--some are like family to me. I also have a cousin living in Sendai. Still waiting to hear from peeps.

Did anyone catch the 90.1 Radio West program yesterday evening about the Wasatch Front preparedness (or lack thereof)? Very interesting in the light of the recent discussion here on JazzFanz. They were talking also about the Christchurch one and how buildings there and here are very similar. Then I wake up and see this news. I find it fascinating such strong earthquake will do minimal damage to the buildings and infrastructure in Japan (who obviously know how to build).

This is sad news. Thoughts and prayers for all involved.
And for what it's worth, I blame Godzilla.

Godzilla may be fictional but may very well become a reality after this event...

Talk about adding insult to injury. The tsunami wasn't enough, now we need to worry about nuclear reactors melting down.

I blame Obama
The earthquake was the lead story on my radio station. Of course, that's NPR for you.
We know and hear about more because of the technology.
Japan and Hawaii will recover. I wonder how many islands that are not as technologically advanced will endure proportaionately larger tragedies, which will get no play at all?
