I don't think we know the true toll yet taken on Japan by this tsunami. We watch the events as they unfold on the Internet and the news and the sense of disbelief is similar to the feelings I felt on 9/11. All I can say is that this earthquake and tsunami make Haiti look like a cakewalk. And by the way, this is the second serious quake on the Ring of Fire in a week. New Zealand was hit by a large serious quake in the past week. Now Japan. Who is next? I would be really uneasy living near those large faultlines in California.
