Two Weeks Later

.
Today marks the Two Week-point since the 8.9 magnitude earthquake happened in Japan, and the
situation has not gotten that much better, it has gotten four times worse with the
Tsunami, the Nuclear Threat on top of the Quake and the economic
burden it has put on the country and on the people of Japan.
