You probably already heard the news.
On 3/11, 8.9 Magnitude Earthquake hit Northeast of Japan, also triggered 30-foot ferocious Tsunami to destroy coastal city of Sendai, the city in Miyagi prefecture (state) closest to the quake's epicenter. After the earthquake, the whole nation was followed with over 100 aftershocks, and we just got another one as I write this. The images are apoclayptic, so surreal that it almost resembled scenes from a Hollywood disaster movies.

JAPAN EARTHQUAKE: BEFORE & AFTER
Hundreds of miles of Japan's northeast coastline, entire towns are swamped, leaving thousands dead and thousands (still counting as I write) left with no homes, food, and water and heat. And there are not enough resources to quickly reach - or even contact - the tens of thousands who remain missing.
Prime Minister Naoto Kan called the disaster the country's worst crisis since World War II. While Tokyo was given a good shake, amazingly it survived largely undamaged. However, one feeling we've all sharing at the moment is a terrible sense of uselessness. I wish I can taken it upon myself to get in a car and head north but it's not the most sensible option at this moment. :(
