Earthquake and tsunamis in Japan

Japan was devastated today by an 8.9-magnitude earthquake. Tsunamis with waves reaching 30 feet followed and continue. Hundreds are dead and hundreds more are missing to say nothing of those displaced. Small tsunamis hit Hawaii and other islands east of Japan and the U.S. West Coast was preparing for possible smaller aftershock. The photos are nearly unbelievable. The aftermath of this will take years to overcome. Japan, with the world's 3rd largest economy, will need help from many to come through this. My prayers go out to those impacted.
