wow, first a giant earthquake which they survived pretty well thanks to their amazing engineering and building codes, but then a tsunami no one could prepare for, then after shocks and now a nuclear disaster... I would offer PC'ers in Japan a spot on my couch but after reading about how the northwest is a powder keg…
Well, it could of been a lot worse if it wasn't in Japan.
