I'm not sure who has heard it by now or if there is someone out there that still isn't aware, but an 8.8 earthquake hit Japan early yesterday/today and a tsunami followed with the aftershocks. There are still fires throughout Chiba and many prefectures are experiencing flooding, the aftershocks have also still not stopped. Japan is one of the best countries in the world equipped to deal with these kinds of disasters, but that's no reason not to help them.

If you have anything you can spare, please take a hop over to RedCross.org, The International Medical Corps or any relief organization of your choice. (A great list with links can be found here.)
