Tragedy in Japan Is Overwhelming

The 9.l earthquake followed by an enormous tsunami has left tens of thousands dead and devastated area of northern Japan. Nuclear power plants are in danger of melting and spreading dangerous levels of radioactivity. Today Japan, already hit with more than 200 after shocks, could be struck with another earthquake of around 7.0 magnitude.  This catastrophe is so tremendous that many nations including the United States will be affected. Relief efforts are underway but damage is so great and far reaching that even the best efforts will leave Japan forced into a long recovery.
