Massive 8.9 Quake, Tsunamis Hit Japan
I just woke up at 0246 time here in Texas and checked the CNN web site and saw the headline: “Massive 8.9 quake, tsunamis hit Japan.” That is a big earthquake.
Our hopes and prayers are with everyone in Japan and any other areas effected by the quake.
“Tokyo (CNN) -- An 8.9-magnitude earthquake hit northern Japan on Friday, triggering tsunamis and sending a massive body of water filled with debris that included boats and houses inching toward highways.
The epicenter was 373 kilometers (231 miles) away from the capital, Tokyo, the United States Geological Survey said. But residents there felt the tremors.
The quake rattled buildings and toppled cars off bridges and into waters underneath. Waves of debris flowed like lava across farmland, pushing boats, houses and trailers toward highways.
