Devestation

I have been looking through "Google Images" pictures of the Japan quake and have been having mixed emotions. On one hand the pictures of the devastation is horrible. One particular picture in general stands out. The picture reminds me of the a old war photo i saw once. The lady was walking down the road holding in her arms what i would presume to be her child. The lady and her child were covered in what i would guess to be a mixture of mud and blood and they both looked as though death was knocking on their doorstep. Anyways my logical side says that none of this should be a surprise as Japan is on a major fault line and there has been a increase of quakes in the pacific, IE. Christchurch. My emotional side feels empty and unsure of the outcome. I write this not to offend anyone and not to discount the severity of the dilemma at hand. I hope that anyone personally affected by the situation is able to recoup and that everything will come out O.K.
