WOW! Now that’s an earthquake

Originally, it was reported as 7.9 magnitude but has been updated to 8.8. The Richter scale is logarithmic. An 8 is 10 TIMES bigger than a 7, so this is a very power quake.

Watching that water come in and wiping out everything in it’s path, is just heart wrenching. God be with the people of Japan and everywhere the tsunami is going to be.
