Japanese Earthquake
A magnitude 8.9 earthquake hit Japan today. It has caused extensive damage and major tsunamis that have devastated the coastal areas. Strong aftershocks continue to shake the country. I want to extend my condolences to the Japanese people in their time of need. Let's hope aid gets there soon. The US Navy is preparing to go in once the arrangements are made with the Japanese authorities. I hope that they can get there and begin to help the Japanese crews with the rescue efforts.

It's devastating isn't it? And getting all to frequent for all of our countries!
The Pacific Rim, referred to as the "Ring of Fire", is the most seismically active area in the world. It encompasses pretty much the entire perimeter of the Pacific Ocean. It has triggered some of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded.
