Devastation in Japan

At 14:46 on March 11 there was an 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Miyagi prefecture, the biggest in Japan and Pacific in recorded history (over 1000 years), and said to be the 5th largest in the world. 
Since that time until now, March 13th, 12:06, just after midnight, there have been 106 earthquakes of over 5.0 magnitude. Due to the earthquake I won't be having work for at least a few days. I'll be sitting at home watching the news, reading articles, and listening to earthquake warnings. Apart from that, I'll be enjoying my time with my family, visiting friends, and jumping at every tremor. It's been said that it's a matter of time before another big one hits. 
These photo's below are only a small portion of the reality that's all around us right now in Nagano, Niigata, Ibaraki, Iwate, Miyagi, Yamagata, Fukushima, Utsunomiya, Tokyo, and Chiba prefectures.
