    People say what happened in Japan isn't natural, yet its nothing but natural. What do you think when the Mammoths roamed the earth and the ice age happened. There was nothing they could do, and that leads me to the earthquake in Japan. Yes, it was high for normal numbers these days but the worlds axis rotating which is natural.

    I think its awesome to see how countries come together at a time like this. This should make the United States feel better about themselves also. By helping others, it will give us a good impact and if we are in need of help someone will be there for us.

    Absolutely, Kristen. It is very devastating, too, and unfortunate. Most people don't realize that it is in every country's best interest to do so. In this day and age, our economies are much more interdependent and like throwing a pebble into the pond, there will be some ripple effects that will surface within our own economy as a result of the Japanese events.

    Iodine-131 was found in Colorado and Oregon by a monitor in Colorado. The trace amounts of radiation found is about 100,000 times less than the natural radiation we receive from the sun, so it really is no threat.

    Radiation from Japan's earthquake was recently found in California,Hawaii,Washington,Colorado, and Oregon. They were only small levels but they could increase over time. Most studies are being done by the EPA. Air monitors are tracking these particles. The particle most recently found is iodine-131.

    The morality of human nature can never be settled as eternally good or bad, but always unpredictable. There's ones who create inventions, cure diseases, and build nations, yet you can't balance life without having negatives. Its a shame what happens to innocent victims these days, but we can't control human emotion/consciousness. All we can do is protect who and what we know, but learn from the mistakes of our brothers and sisters for we can do better.

Missouri tornado deadliest in decades - 0 views

  •  
    The Missouri tornado death toll as rose to 118 people dead and it is still rising as they look for more people that are trapped under their own houses. This tornado was one of the deadliest single U.S. tornado since modern record-keeping began more than 60 years ago.
  •  
    With every tornado it just gets worse and if not its going to.
  •  
    Natural disasters are a terrible thing to suffer from, because you can't blame anybody for your misfortunes. I think that people should read these articles and become more aware of how devastating they can be, and more people will be inclined to seek more protective shelter.
