It seems like we have been having a rash of serious earthquakes being reported on the morning and/or evening news in recent years. The Richter Scale ratings are generally in the 6 point range, which is pretty devistating and the cause of severe damage to life, limb and properties. I haven’t heard of one as high as the one that just hit Japan. This sucker was 8.6, that is just crazy!
The pictures and the stories that I’m seeing on Yahoo.com are outrageous. I’m so grateful that no one that I know or love is over in that part of the country right now, or at least I don’t know of anyone, but that doesn’t mean a whole heck of a lot in today’s high transient world. I’m sure I’ll run into someone in the future that was there, or knew someone or was related to someone who had the misfortune to be any where near where this quake decided to ruin millions and millions of people’s lives and businesses.
I understand that the after shocks are still coming strong and that the latest was rated as a 6.8 on The Richter Scale. And that has now been rated as ????5th largest earthquake in the world since 1900. This is the latest photo that I’ve seen on Yahoo.com, can you imagine looking at this up close and personal like, not me dude!
