In case you haven't heard Japan was hit by a massive 8.9 magnitude earthquake early this morning. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationwo...,1950058.story

From the news it looks the like the entire country it at a stand still. I lived in Yokosuka for 3 years and I'm blown away by just even the fact that they stopped the trains. Even during past earthquakes I've never heard of them not running like clockwork, which attests to the severity of this one.

So if you could please direct your prayers and good thoughts over to Japan and anyone else affected by the resulting tsunami.
