Japan

Hi guys, it's Hannah
Last week, everyone's hearts universally reached out toward the people of Japan. The aftermath of the 9.0 earthquake and tsunami that devastated millions will be remembered for years to come, but what isn't getting as much attention is the radiation coming from affected nuclear plants on the coast of Japan. The radiation will possibly change Japan's environment and poorly influence many Japanese people's health. Some Hawaiians, Californians, and even Alaskans who saw the effects of the disaster on a smaller scale, are worried about the radiation reaching them on the coast. President Obama assured us Americans that it's  nearly impossible, but still, it's scary to realize how every thing you do or that happens has the possibility of badly effecting other people too. Celebrities, disaster relief associations, and companies like the Red Cross are collecting donations to help the land and people of Japan. Please keep your thoughts and prayers on Japan.

Quake and Tsunami in Japan

Hayyyyooooooooo it's Ben,

The tsunami in Japan was caused by a 9.1 earthquake 200 miles from Tokyo in a rural village.  The earthquake made a crack 50 yards wide and 100 miles long on the surface of the earth.  The tsunami traveled across the Pacific Ocean and tipped boats and broke docks in Crescent City and Santa Cruz. It has devastated millions of people and homes. Nuclear plants in Japan are in critical condition. People in the world are devastated by this occurrance. People in Hawaii weren't that surprised because minutes after the quake most of the world knew of the tsunami.
