Unfortunately as the days pass after the terrible earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan, the news just seems to get worse. There are now grave fears for the Nuclear Power Plants that were in the path of the earthquake, 1,000′s of people now found dead, and they are saying that they fear there will be a lot more.
Like millions of people I have been watching the TV news and footage, as well as listening to news reports on the radio in total disbelief, it must be absolutely terrifying for all those people in Japan, and my heart and thoughts go out to all. I hope those people looking for Family, Friends, Loved ones, will find them safe and sound.
AN explosion and feared meltdown at one of Japan’s nuclear plants yesterday exposed the scale of the disaster facing the country after a massive quake and tsunami left 1000 feared dead.
TV channels warned nearby residents to stay indoors, turn off airconditioners and not to drink tap water. People going outside were also told to avoid exposing their skin and to cover their faces with masks and wet towels. News.com.au.
