Japan Earthquake

Japan had a HUGE earthquake yesterday.
8.9 on the richter scale.  That large number means it was really bad.
I hate earthquakes.  They really un-nerve me.
It has triggered tsunamis.  All the way over here on our coast.

See the damage above and how the tsunami has hit Japan pushing along all the debris and fires.  It was shocking to watch fires move on top of the flowing water and cars and houses and boats being moved and tossed like they are completely insignificant.
We are about 10 miles inland, so even if we got hit hard by a tsunami, I don't think it would reach us.  But we have seen some effects of it on the news in Santa Cruz already.
We have 2 missionaries from our ward serving in Japan right now.  Tandy and Alicia.  I hope they are okay.

This is horriable. The pictures are........there seems to be no words. I heard all missionaries are accounted for. I am sure they will have stories upon there return. Just very sad.
