QUAKE UPDATE – Over 500 dead and evacuation of thousands near nuclear plant!

The quake was 1000 times more powerful than the one in New Zealand three weeks ago.

The death toll is unfortunately rising dramatically.  TV photos of the Tsunami in Japan show hundreds of cars being swept to see as well as large trawlers and fishing boats being tossed like cordwood.

the quake was over 400 miles long and lasted over 5 minutes.  Fortunately Tokyo has some of the strictest building codes in the world so downtown Tokyo buildings have withstood much of the damage.  Elsewhere there is a story that an entire passenger train has disappeared.

THE EARTHQUAKE WAS OFF SHORE OF JAPAN AND IT WAS THE LARGEST EVER RECORDED TO HIT JAPAN AN 8.9 MAGNITUDE MONSTER EARTHQUAKE.

JAPANESE LOSS OF LIFE WAS FIRST ANNOUNCED AS 32 DEAD….BUT THAT IS EXPECTED TO RISE DRAMATICALLY.
