Praising the Lord for your safety!
When you see a massive country that is now the 2nd greatest economy in the world and owns much of America`s debt, increasingly sending ships and planes into basically all her neighbors territories claiming the land really belongs to China and her military budget increases greatly, you know something is up. Americans may think, "well, that`s Asia, it doesn`t affect us", but it does because America has military bases in Asia and the countries China is testing and provoking. China is not a tiny, impoverished country like Afghanistan that can be overpowered. It`s got the power to fight back and it has Russia, Iran, and North Korea as allies if it needs back up support. Basically over Asia, China is the biggest and strongest military nation, and I think Asian nations are now seeing and realizing this. It may eventually come down to joining China willingly or forceably in some sort of Asian Union with China as the head, but praise God no matter how powerful a nation my think it is, it can never be more powerful than God or take God`s headship. God is always more powerful than any circumstance whether it`s a natural disaster or man made.
One last word, there is another concern in Japan as a result of the earthquake, in Fukushima we have a nuclear plant and the tsunami took out the pumps to the cooling system so there is radioactive steam ventilating in about a 6 mile radius. The radiation is 1000 times higher than normal. The people in the area have been evacuated. But this is a serious problem. We also have a lot of people left homeless and still missing so that too is a problem.
I read that there had been an explosion there and that they feared there may be a meltdown. Can anyone here who knows more about nuclear physics than I do tell us what would be the consequences of a meltdown?
I just read on CNN's website (edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/03/12/japan.earthquake.tsunami.earth/index.html?hpt=T2) that Japan has moved 8 feet (2.4 meters) and the earth has been tilted on it's axis by 4 inches (10 cm). I wonder if that's going to affect the weather all over the world?
The latest news is they were not able to cool down the nuclear plant and it exploded. I live close enough to it that we`ve been told to not let any rain touch our skin, to wear masks, and just protect the skin when going out. What can you do? Just make the best of it and pray. I wonder how safe the water is to shower in and drink. I think the first week will be fine because surely the water in the water towers are protected but what happens with the new supply coming in? We are told to boil water and put it in pet bottles. I also wonder if it is good to hang the clothes out on the line, and what about windy days should we even go outside? But the fact is you`ve got to bathe, drink, shop, and dry your clothes so you just have to deal with it and leave the rest to God.
Jason, we have more US bases than just Okinawa, you can see the list here United States Forces Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
I read that even California was hit by the tidal wave and it did some damage, and China felt the effects of the quake and has some power shortages so my heart goes out to others who have also been affected by this earthquake as well.
