Japan's Quake: A Harrowing Reminder of Nature's Fury The latest earthquake to ravage Japan is a stark reminder that, no matter how well prepared we think we are, nature can still unleash devastating force upon us.
Tuesday's quake struck Kyushu island with unprecedented ferocity, leaving over 150,000 people displaced from their homes.
The human toll of this disaster is already becoming apparent: more than 40,000 households have lost power, and several individuals remain missing after a chimney collapsed at a paper factory in the Kumamoto prefecture.
