(Pray for) Japan

Leave any comments you have on the tragic 8.9 earthquake and/or tsunami that occurred yesterday.

There's no way they completely could've prepared for this.. Even though no one I know was affected, I'm still very saddened by the images in the links below.. Even if you have no religion, pray for them.. I'm an atheist, but we can all hope things turn around..

Also, I really urge everyone if they have the money to donate to Red Cross, or some charity that will be helping Japan.

A very simple way is to text REDCROSS to 90999. It donates $10 automatically. It's very small, but if we all pitch in, it will go a long way.

Believe it or not, they were somewhat prepared, I heard they knew an earthquake was coming like 20 seconds before it happened (doesn't sound like much, but that's still something), their communication tools weren't as affected as they could have, and people in the news actually had helmets 0.0. They obviously couldn't control a situation like this, but they weren't comepletely unprepared, which is always good.
There's a ton of awesome people in japan (just look at this, that's awesome!) and they (and nor any other country) certainly didn't deserve something like this, I send my best wishes to them.
