I would like to express my deepest sympathy and sorrowness for the Japanese people for what had happened in their country. Earthquake is an unpredictable natural occurrence that strike without warning. Japan is the most earthquake prepared country in the world. An 8.9 scale earthquake happened in other country would have caused much much more deaths and destructions than Japan. This begins to worry me. California is expecting a BIG ONE. I hope California won't be facing a big one like Japan. And I hope Californian are prepare.
