    May the land stabilize and all be safe.🙏❤️
  • Stay safe and alert, Japan. I was born and raised in Southern California, and while we saw some big quakes, nothing like the 2011 quake and subsequent tsunami. Praying that the earth can chill out and save the mega quake for the movies. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

    I honor all those who fought to save the Fukushima reactor. In their memory, I pray for all the people of Japan. The consequences of any severe earthquakes are simply horrific to the people who must experience them.

    The people of Japan have had it horrible for recent years. May the catastrophes that have stricken their beautiful nation subside and stability be restored to Japan. Respect, love, and well wishes to the wonderful people of Japan from Saskatchewan, Canada.,

    Didn't this happen a couple of days ago? Is this a new quake that happened today?

    Umm, what? While a serious subject and many of us are interested in updates, this provides absolutely nothing other than in the description. Thumbs down.
