Earthquake in Japan

It's so horrible to watch the news about the earhtquake that struck Japan yesterday and the damages it brought by the Tsunami. Japan is totally devastated and a lot of people died and their homes were destroyed. I called my parents yesterday when I found out that Philippines was also under high alert for Tsunami. I was glad that my hometown and other places in the Philippines wasn't affected by Tsunami. I also found out that my cousin who lives and works in Japan came back to the Philippines to pick her mother and her daughter to take them to Japan for a vacation were in Manila the other day and were waiting for their flight back to Japan for the next day have missed the catastrophe. I hope that they are really still in Manila while the earthquake and Tsunami happened. It's a divine intervention that and their lives were spared.
