Japan hit by massive big 8.9 magnitude Earthquake today followed by Tsunami destroying two major cities in Tokyo n causing massive fire in Cosmo Oil Refinery.
Russia's emergency ministry issued a tsunami warning on Friday, March 11th, 2011 for the Kuril Island chain after the powerful quake struck off Japan. Russia's territorial dispute with Japan surrounds the Kuril chain's southernmost four islands — known in Russian as Iturup, Shikotan, Habomai and Kunashir — which are still claimed by Tokyo and collectively known in Japan as the Northern Territories.
The thing that a lot of people cannot comprehend is that Mother Nature doesn't have a bullet with your name on it, she has millions of bullets inscribed with 'to whom it may concern'. Indian Local authorities said that India is away from danger of such nature fury and have not issued any warnings as of yet.
Asian stock markets have fall down as the massive quake n tsunami rocked Japan today. As of now the damage is not reported, but India is likely to get less affected ecologically and economically.
Expect Indian stock market to hold it back and not react much to the natural calamity taken place today in Japan. Though if Tsunami strikes back again hard, then there shall be some more pain to see.
Mother nature's fury is always devastating. Hope its causes no further destruction. Hope the mother calms down and blesses others without causing any further damages or loss.

Well, there are experts who have predicted the half the shoreline along Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, and also along Kerala will be covered with water. Mystical terms what we call as Pralay is bound to happen for a new age to be born. We can only pray and do nothing else.
I have been watching the news and felt pretty helpless as Mother Nature came so sudden to destroy. Malaysia so far has not been reported to be affected but neighboring Indonesia and the Philippines and Australia are reported to be affected should the Tsunami leaves Japan.
