As we know, Japan is currently suffering from the tragic loss of life and property following a catastrophic earthquake, aftershocks, tsunamis, floods, and fires. Additional worries involve 2 nuclear power plants. The death toll is unknown. The American Red Cross writes: "The earthquake triggered fires and caused severe damage to buildings, leaving five million households without electricity and 1 million without water. Early assessments indicate that more than 2,500 houses have collapsed completely, with 2,500 more damaged."
