8.9 Earthquake/Tsunami Rock Japan
TOKYO – Japanese police say 200 to 300 bodies have been found in a northeastern coastal area (Sendai) where a massive earthquake spawned a tsunami.
The magnitude 8.9 offshore quake unleashed a 23-foot (7-meter) tsunami and was followed by more than 50 aftershocks for hours, many of them of more than magnitude 6.0. Earlier, police confirmed at least 60 people had been killed and 56 were missing. The death toll was likely to continue climbing given the scale of Friday's disaster.

Horrible... horrible event. My prayer's are with those in Japan and with those who have family there and in other danger zones (Hawaii, Washington, Oregon, California & Mexico).
My mom is convinced that this is just another event that is going to lead to the world "imploding".
