Earthquake in Japan

I don't know much about it. I know it is a catastrophe and that many people died, I don't know if it was due to the tsunami or the earthquake but either way, it's bad. It made a tsunami go to Hawaii, mostly the Kona side of Big Island, where I am from. I know it's shocking that I don't know much about the event that happened in Japan but I don't have cable and don't read much about the news. I saw some videos online that my sister showed me on the tsunami coming into a town and it is crazy! Cars were being swept away with people in them and it was horrible to watch everything they have go away. It's scary to know that these things are happening in other places around the world because those things could happen here. Where I live. Not having control of what happens in my life kind of scares me so an earthquake like that worries me. But I have it good, thankfully, compared to be others.
