The Earthquake and aftermath

The worst earthquake of japan's history shocked the world!
It started on Friday with an 8.9 scale earthquake. It took the lives of hundreds of people and was followed by a tsunami with frighteningly high tidal waves and several aftershocks.
the aftermath: more then 210.000 homeless people, more than 10.000 people missed
and the number of dead persons is still rising!
On Saturday (15.35) came the next shock. An nuclear-reactor-explosion (NPP Fukushima) and now the feared nuclear fusion - a horrible association!!
bad enough they were hit for six with the earthquake and the tsunami.
i'm so worried !(not least because of my boyfriend in otaru(北海道))
I want him to come to germany!
And i totally symphatise with the victims and all the homeless people - it makes me sad to see the distress..
