My heart just goes out to Japan today.

I saw the first video footage this morning and I have to say I was
just in awe of such immense forces destroying all the efforts of
humans in such a devastating short period of time. I would guess that
many due to Japans technical preparedness and wealth would have had
some tsunami warning time but boy oh boy what a sight.

Of course this now has to be the most witnessed, the most powerful
Tsunami ever witnessed in human history. Japan is the third largest
economy in the world but that is going to put some massive hole in the
wealth of the country

Maybe those Mayans were right or they simply never paid the printer
for the 2013 calendar. Lets hope the latter because in the thin
varnish that humans live in on the surface of the plane,t todays
event is a sobering realisation just as to how insignifigant we are in
a straight head to head with nature,
