 | On March 10th, an earthquake hit Yingjiang in Yunnan Province of China and caused a death toll of 25. The next day, another earthquake attacked Japan and caused more death. I felt so sorry for them and their families. Hope more people will help carry them through. |

| The earthquake in Japan has today been upgraded to 9 on the Richter Scale. That makes it the fourth worst ever and about 50 times more powerful than the Sichuan quake in 2008 which registered 7.9. Two nuclear reactors are in danger of meltdown. |

| watching from an Aerial view, as the water traveled quickly it is most horrifying , many of the people did not even know what hit them and those who have not heard the warnings. The flood waters have receded but a bigger crisis is beginning to happen, from a nuclear reactor melt down to sorting through the damage and looking for the dead. Disease and Plague ride the same horse,,.It will be even more worse in the days to come than the actual flood!! I am most humbled. |

| I am slightly perplexed as to why this globally momentous, horrific catastrophe has drawn such little comment here. I am loathe to draw the obvious conclusion.....but.. |

| But the conclusion may be that they are just Japanese after all, and who really cares. Dodger. |

However that is about to change, and quite soon if prevailing wind direction reverts to the norm. The radiation leaking from the damaged reactors is currently being blown east by the wind, out to sea. When the wind changes direction and blows to the west, towards China, somebody might just take notice. |

But not much. However, as the situation got worse, it draw much more attention. My friend in Tianjin told me that he received a message the day before yesterday which suggested them wearing a face mask when going out, if it blows. |

If the situation worsens Rover more than a face mask will be needed. One can not shovel alot of snow with a spoon!! |
