Yah, from the vids I’ve watched with cars and buildings being washed away I don’t see how there aren’t tens of thousands gone from the effects. I don’t know, I’m not equipped to calculate that stuff, but they’ll never find a lot of the victims.
I have not been able to wrap my head around this and I bet I don’t get much sleep tonight. This is bad.
I could not get personal over Haiti or New Zealand or Thailand, I got no skin in that game. This hits home for me. I have Japanese people in my life and they are hurting over this. Sucks. Me? Hell, I can go ride my bike tomorrow and enjoy life, but it hits home over here in Garland. We are carrying the weight of what has happened because the blood of those killed and lost flows in the veins of my loved ones.
Sheesh, them Japanese are used to quakes, but this was the Big One.
The Japanese are resilient, they will rebuild, but in such a densely populated country, it’s hard to imagine that there will be any family left unscathed from this.
