Update, as you may have heard from ongoing coverage, the damage from the earthquake is much worse than what was originally thought.
Relief efforts are under way and we will be posting links to some charities, so you can support relief efforts.
An 8.9 Earthquake has hit Japan causing devastating damage and death as millions find themselves without power, food and water supplies are difficult to find, relief efforts should be getting under way as soon as it is safe to proceed, while the US has never seen this kind of damage at least in the last 30 years, some say that the west coast could be in for some wave damage.
