The Japanese Earthquake

A short note to record that the 5th largest earthquake ever recorded devastated Japan 3 days ago. The resulting tsunami was 10 meters high and swept away many towns and cities. One city of 10,000 people was swept away. At this stage they are reporting a thousand deaths, but the figure will probably be many, many times that.

There is also a pending nuclear disaster with the damage to the nuclear reactors.

The pictures on TV are so shocking. It is claimed that parts of Japan have moved 8 feet.

So sad.
