Japan - day five ~ morning after the earthquake

We ran into the street. The ground was moving. 

Water in the fish tank splashed out. 

Our host rode his bicycle 1 hr 45 min home b/c the trains were stopped. He took video on his iPhone of cracks in the sidewalk and roads. On the video, we could see the cracks widening and narrowing. Weird! Also saw his video of mud and water seeping up through the ground. 

We heard the explosions at an oil refinery 5 miles away, and saw the fireball. 

Watching the tsunami live on TV was ... there are no words. 

We keep having aftershocks every 10-15 minutes. It can leave one always on edge. 

Not sure what today will bring (6:45 AM local time now) ... what reports of deaths and devastation. 

Please pray for Japan ... for a spiritual awakening.
