I Had No Idea.....

Last Friday, March 11, Japan was hit with a massive earthquake and following tsunami.  Each day the news from Japan seems to be more difficult and hard to comprehend.

This morning I gathered the paper and this headline jolted me.  Oh my God - I can even begin to calculate the enormity of that loss.  Just as my brain was beginning to wrap around the headline I started to examine the picture.  Here a mother and father have found their daughter who was out in a driver-training car when the quake hit.  I would describe the photo in more detail, but it is really too upsetting.  I don't have the tools to fathom this kind of loss.

A brickbat to the layout editor who put the "Laugh" headline about some yoga program above the picture and headline about the quake.  Most inappropriate.

Here is a scary video from someone who was way too close to the events.  I don't know how they survived and got this footage.  Scary.

Needless to say, my thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Japan.
