Thoughts on the 8.9 Earthquake that hit Japan

First of all, I watched Battle of L.A. thie night before all this craziness went down. And in the movie there was a bunch of CNN Global Emergency scenes type of stuff. So, seeing CNN Global Emergency in real life the next day, made it kind of a surreal experience for me. Like there is CNN stuff happenning in the movies and in real life. Kind of wierd.

Guam had the tsunami warnings. We were told it would hit us at 7 p.m. My family and I packed a few valuables and headed for the hills...Nimitz Hill, at my uncle's house.
My dad went there and I just went to Sinajana/Agana Heights to meet up with some friends. We ate at Kinneys restaurant which overlookks the whole Agana and it was packed like sardines. Evidently Kinney's is the place to eat when there is a tsunami warning. Anyways, when it was about 7:45 and no waves came...the latest update said it will hit us between 9 pm and 11 pm. Then I thought, okay i think the police and all that lied to us and told us it would hit us at 7 pm so that we would have to rush out of our homes and be evacuated 2 hours before the tsunami would even hit.
I think they know that Guam people run by Chamorro Standard Time. Well, the tsunami never hit us, thank God, and everything was back to normal by 11 p.m. It was a crazy experience and it was almost like a practice test or a drill that they put us through.

Quick Facts:

-Japan Earthquake 5th largest in history of the world
-actually made Japan move closer to the U.S.
-threw the earth of its axis
-made time just a wee bit shorter

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families who have lost loved ones and their houses all out of nowhere in one random day. They dont deserve that at all.
May you find peace.
