分からない。。。 I don't know

Seriously, I don't want to write this but I feel like its something that should be recorded in my blog. But, before I get to the big event, lets talk about what I've been doing recently.

Okay, done with that! :p NAH, just kidding. I've been doing somethings, just not very much and no pictures to post of it either. My pilot runs of my experiment are going fairly well and other than a few equipment problems, everything is awesome.


The weather was very VERY nice for a few days but now it seems like some sort of cold front came in and it went from being a nice comfortable 21C down to almost single digits here in Okinawa. I just heard from my friend that its even snowing in Hiroshima at the moment. My gosh we're getting weird weather these days. LOL.


Well, enough of that for the moment. Now its on to the main thing that happened last week. Unless you live under a rock, you'll know whats happened to Japan the past few days. The 9.0 (yes, it got upped to a 9.0 now) magnitude earthquake was a big surprise. Its the 5th largest recorded earthquake. But there's been many more earthquakes since then and it was also preceded by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake. As of writing this, the quakes seem to have become less frequent but still happen every once in a while. There has now been upwards of 450 quakes of 5 or more magnitude. (earthquakes [will show latest earthquakes of the region])
Along with that amazingly strong earthquake, a equally strong tsunami also came with it. Video of the tsunami (sorry, its in Japanese). Its likely the tsunami that caused the most deaths and widest destruction. Even some all the way over on the west coast of America and Hawai`i. Luckily, it wasn't nearly as bad over there as it could have been. But, up in northern Japan, the tsunami caused massive damage and countless deaths. Hawai'i and other areas of the Pacific should be happy that we have a massive buoy network setup that even us normal people are able to access data from. These buoys were pivotal in the issuance of the tsunami warning and such.
Well, I'm gonna look for a good charity to donate money to. I'm still not sure exactly which one that I wanna donate to but will definitely give money to the cause. I hope you all will too! Its an incredible event and Japan really needs the support of all of us.


Hope all is well with everyone!


Until later~Aloha as always~
