Because half my family live in Japan, I'm watching what is going on there. My heart goes out to the victims. We just had Christchurch and now we have this...
Look at the cars driving away. Trying to get away as fast as they can! My mum was suppose to go to Japan this month. I hope she hasn't left yet...Update: My mum is safe. I'm just trying to contact my family and friends. A lot of lines are down.
I've received awards but I'll post those tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteThese videos are shocking. Last I heard the death toll was 1000. I hope that your loved ones are safe. I have never heard of an 8.9 earthquake, that is unbelievably massive.
ReplyDeleteI woke up to an evacuation notice, because I'm right on the beach in CA. I didn't comprehend right away what was happening. Luckily, as I was packing, I heard the waves had hit SF and it wasn't anywhere near as bad as expected. But over there...that footage is mind-boggling. Destruction by fire and flood at the same time!
ReplyDeleteI hope your family and friends are safe. You're right that disasters seem worse and we're having many more of them. Has somebody repealed the law of averages?
oh, Clarissa! Prayers for your family and for you. That is so so scary--but so glad to hear your mom is OK! keep us posted~ xoxo

ReplyDeleteI hope your family is safe!
Clarissa, I hope you are able to contact your family. I know it's frustrating not knowing.
ReplyDeleteit's really horrible. I can't even imagine what would happen if this went on in some country which wasn't so prepared for earthquakes like Japan.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure all will be well with your family Clarissa. And I hope people will stop destroying the planet and the climate, because this is what happens :((
My prayers are with you, your family, and everyone touched by this tragedy.

Many people want to help out, but other than money or being an aid worker, there is another way to help by sending words of support and hope. You can send your message online to school children and emergency workers in Japan via Hope Letters at http://hopeletters.wordpress.com/. Hope Letters will translate them into Japanese and deliver them to local organizations for posting/broadcasting (when it is practical and effective to do so). Help give hope!
ReplyDeleteHi Clarissa .. I'm so pleased your family and friends are alright .. it is a terrible disaster x 3 - that's what is so appalling.
ReplyDeleteWith thoughts to each and everyone of them .. it is unimaginable .. Hilary
