.. I cannot even fathom what the citizens of Japan are going through today. The nuclear reactor crisis must only be exacerbating the horrendous weekend ..

The danger at Fukushima still difficult to assess..
But I’d argue that recent Japanese officials’ claims of a disaster averted are as premature as saying there has been a disaster.. It’s too early to tell but it’s downright nerve racking watching..

This is chilling: A town of 17,000 has 10,000 people missing from it in the wake of the tsunami..
…it was a coastal town…
We can hope for the best but expect.. the worst.

"No health hazard"
…despite radiation levels being 1,000 times the norm..
Despite workers being treated for radiation exposure..
Despite evacuations of thousands upon thousands of people..
Listen, we get it, governments don’t want an already edgy nation to panic more. But guess what, the edgy people of Japan are intelligent and fully aware that a problem at Fukushima is potentially bad. And much worse than ‘state officials’ are pretending..
"No health hazard"
More than 300,000 people have now been evacuated from homes in northern Japan and that number will rise as the government increases the exclusion zone around the Fukushima nuclear power plant, Kyodo reports
BBC News - LIVE: Japan earthquake (via underthemountainbunker)
This weekend is .. just not going to be good.
A quake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.4 just hit Fukushima in northern Japan- the prefecture where the unstable nuclear plant is located.
Enough aftershocks. Enough.
Worst place and time for this aftershock
A quake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.4 just hit Fukushima in northern Japan- the prefecture where the unstable nuclear plant is located.
Quake moved Japan coast 8 feet; shifted Earth's axis
CNN: Reports from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Italy estimated the 8.9-magnitude quake shifted the planet on its axis by nearly 4 inches.

It’s been a long and disastrous day..
Scores of people have been killed by disaster on earth.. Millions around the world, if not billions, watched live coverage on TV, the internet, and radio.. Every medium of information was busy speculating on disaster..
No better time than now for a silent, quiet, and peaceful lullaby..

Be at peace.
Goodnight.

Calling all angels…
You’re needed in Japan.

What to make of a day like this..?
Images of ruin .. photos of destruction .. voices of horror .. moments of devastation. Everything that mattered stopped mattering for a while today, as some monumental and massive development in the history of life took place. An enormous earthquake shook parts of the planet, altered time itself, moved an island, and caused a ocean wide tsunami that left destruction in its path.
And all of that was before sunrise in the land of the rising sun..
Japan has had its share of natural disasters before. But the calamity that hit the nation today turned parts of the country into a graveyard ocean.. The amount of dead could very well be shocking.
Yes.. what to make of a moment where it appears the world is on fire.. What to think of a moment in time where it seems stability is gone..
We’ve been here before as a civilization, and we will be again. But this time, for some reason, just seems a little different. Or perhaps just .. more.. real.
Now that nature did its attack today, it’s time for humanity to try to stop another disaster from happening in Japan: A nuclear meltdown.
Wish humanity luck. It seems to need it as of late.
