A sad day, our thoughts go out to those in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mother told me she survived by climbing a tree..the roots help to hold the ground together..She recalls people falling into the cracks of the earth ..Horrible sight...More then 2000 dead...

Japan moved 8 ft. during the quake. I just feel if they shifted the earth 8 feet there it may have disturbed the earth somewhere else and that spot, wherever it is, may then shift itself to get more comfortable resulting in more quakes. Here is the list of the top 15 since 1900: • Chile , 1960 05 22, 9.5 magnitude • Prince William Sound, Alaska, 1964 9.2 magnitude • Northern Sumatra, 2004 9.1 magnitude • Kamchatka, 1952 9.0 magnitude • Japan, 2011: 8.9 magnitude • Chile, 2010 8.8 magnitude • Ecuador, 1906 8.8 magnitude • Alaska, 1965 8.7 magnitude • Northern Sumatra, 2005 8.6 magnitude • Assam and Tibet, 1950 8.6 magnitude • Andreanof Islands, Alaska, 1957 8.6 magnitude • Southern Sumatra, 2007 8.5 magnitude • Banda Sea, Indonesia, 1938 8.5 magnitude • Kamchatka, 1923 8.5 magnitude • Chile and Argentina, 1922 8.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wave that hit wasn't realy that big. i think that much of the land that was inadated by water is below sea leavel to begain with. most of the buildings are made of wood and placeing a neculer plant so close to the sea was not a good location. I guess what i am trying to say is , we create our owne deasters because we realy don't see what can happen. i do pray for all thoses lost and suffring.
