8.9

A magnitude 8.9 earthquake is huge. Sometime this morning Mother Nature shrugged and in so doing shifted a huge chunk of her crust near to the coast of Japan.

Such events give us pause to marvel at the mighty forces of nature, and to think of our brothers and sisters who have been affected by the devastation that ensued.

It would be easy to catalogue what is known of the devastation – but that adds no value to the stream of reports. Most of this, however, is just stuff. It can be rebuilt or replaced. What is most significant is that people have been injured, families have been torn apart, and many have been killed.

The Gorse Fox has them in his thoughts.
