The Japanese Isles

What can one say. The video and the photos show Mother Nature as a force beyond our ability to withstand. Planes and cars get scattered and end up kms inland.

The death toll is provisionally around 1,000 but I think anyone who has watched that video coverage would share my fears it will be far more than that.

I read on Wikipedia that Japan has requested USAR teams from Australia, NZ, South Korea and the US. Sort of glad that we can do something to assist, after we got assistance in turn.
