The Japanese Prime Ministers called this the "greatest disaster since WW11." He confirmed that over 10,000 are dead and millions without food or electricity. It is winter in Japan and temperatures are below freezing at night. This is an ongoing tragedy as three nuclear reactors have erupted threatening nuclear meltdown. To make matters worse, a volcano is erupting in southern Japan.
The Shinmoedake Volcano erupted today showing its first activity in three weeks. It is not known if this was triggered by the earthquake Friday. Keep in mind Japan is an island located on what is called the "Ring of Fire," an area known for seismic activity.
