家族留学奮闘記

I woke up in the morning of the New Year’s Day in the US to see the news that a powerful earthquake hit Noto peninsula region in Ishikawa, the north west coast of Japan on January 1st. The magnitude is reported to be 7.6 with seven in the Japanese seismic scale. There is a high risk of tsunami in the coastal area and subsequent earthquakes for the next couple of days. The evacuation order has been issued for the local residents. The casualty number is not yet available at this point and much remains unknown amid the ongoing confusions.

The new year’s festive mood was suddenly disrupted by this natural disaster. We humans are all immune to the uncontrollable power of the Earth.

An image of CNN reporting the earthquake as a breaking news. The world is deeply concerned about Japan. 

 I pray for people in Ishikawa and those who are affected by the disaster.
