Last night I was watching the news with the hubs and the breaking news hit that a 8.9 quake hit. I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning, not that I was afraid of the tsunami that is to hit our coast this morning, but because I was glued to what was happening to our friends and worried about a family friend that lives and works in Tokyo (we still have not heard from her). As I was watching the initial tsunami hit the farmland I was just dumbfounded and sick to my stomach. I am overwhelmed.
This does hit close to home emotionally, because I live in Southern California and they have been predicting the Big One for 25 years. I have experienced the Northridge quake of 1994 and that was scary and I can’t even wrap my mind around this magnitude of a quake and the devstation that has followed with the tsunamis. They are having after-shocks the size of the Northridge quake.
I am going to go dark for a few days to just show my personal respect and reverence for our friends in Japan. I can’t find humor in life right now and what I have to say is so insignificant compared to what has just happened.
