I am intensely following the Live Feed from all over regarding this tragedy in Japan. And I am crying, really. I have a lot of friends there but I'm not sure where some of them actually stays. To see the tsunami ravage Sendai live on the news, to see people and cars, boat, house, all swept away like toys and the amount of damage done, I can't help feeling a foreboding sense of doom coming upon us. And then I found out a Volcano had erupted a few hours after the tsunami in Indonesia. The fact that there's been an increase of earthquake cases within the ring of fire and all these dreary news is more than my mind can comprehend.
I had to revert to Facebook to try to communicate with some of them but only one I know is alright, Lincoln Wright. His family is safe and he had helped his neighbours as well. God bless him.
I can only pray the rest are OK, but with the news that around 200-300 bodies were already found, and 88,000 still missing .... Oh Lord be merciful.
I'm done listening to the live feeds. Its depressing. So with the thought of those that have died, and families with missing ones, I urge one and all to pray for them. The earthquake that recently happened there was their biggest ever encountered for 100 years, and the third big one world wide.
A note to those who had recently made some purchases from Hobby Link Japan as well as Hobby Search, they were affected too and I'm not sure how bad as they are currently assesing their damages. You will need to give them some time to sort things there, and pray all of them including their families are OK.
