8.9 Earthquake Shakes Tokyo
Earlier, an incredibly strong earthquake (with a magnitude of 8.9!) rocked Japan and crippled Tokyo, with over 20 aftershocks continuing to cause extreme devastation.
The result of this massive earthquake led to a tsunami in Japan that is sweeping across the country, carrying homes, cars, and people.
It is unbelievable!
It’s considered possibly the worst natural disaster to hit a country in our lifetime. It’s hard to watch on tv, the damage is so extensive. The tsunami photos are stunning. The buildings are collapsing all around people who were walking to work, water was sweeping away everything in its path, it’s utterly heartbreaking.
It’s reported that the effects of these latest earthquakes and recent tsunami will reach the west coast of the US as well.

Isn’t this just so heartbreaking? It’s amazing how fast something like this can happen, and the ripples….who knows how far they’ll spread?
I’ve been browsing the pics coming through Yahoo and they’re just horrific. The report I read said this quake was the 8th largest since recording quakes began around 1900. Unbelievable.
So sad 🙁
I was listening to this in the car all morning – it is so sad. I feel so sorry for those people to go through all that they have.
It is devastating. I have been glued to CNN.
I just saw this on Fox news today and couldn’t believe it. They were talking about possible nuclear meltdown if they can’t get them cooled off. I am praying, but not sure what to pray, ya know? Just saying, “Dear God, work how you know to work. Do what you need to do.”
This is been so hard to watch. Just so much death and destruction. It’s so sad.
It’s so incredibly heartbreaking to watch the devastation on the news 🙁
It’s all just so sad ;(
