Tsunami spare a thought

[nightshade]

Watching since very early this morning I have been both fascinated and saddened at the carnage in Japan and the other areas that will recieve some of this earthquake/tsunami's fury. Spare a thought for thes unfortunate people.

Puts our own minor problems into perspective doesn't it? As if the earthquake and tsunami weren't bad enough, the Japanese government has declared a state of emergency because the cooling system failed in a nuclear reactor in the affected area.

We are so lucky here on this little island of ours. Yes we suffer weather, minor tremors and the odd inundation of water through a freak storm, floods and high tides but we have got it fairly easy here. We all moan about the weather (I do) but I think I'd rather put up with grey skies rather than suffer the wrath of the planet as so many other people have to around the globe.

I haven't been able to get them out of my mind today.

Yeah I've had this on in the background at work all afternoon, very sad indeed.

Should make us all think twice next time we're complaining about the weather here!!

Not seen any of this yet been in the hairdressers all afternoon.

Don't forget British people work Japan including one of my relatives, it may still effect people here.

OMG...watching it now..

Dreadful, but it does look as though at least they can keep the death toll down as Japan seems to be prepared & well organised for these sort of events. Still a terrible thing to happen & must be terrifying to be in the middle of it. Lets hope the rest of the tsunami zones can be evacuated in time.

I'll take this occasional (Ok then, a lot of the time!) grey & miserable isle any time.

Its a shame that they can't accurately forecast these terrible tremors with more accuracy. What with Japan all along the edge of a plate & San Francisco on th eedge of another one too, there's surely more they can do.
