Japan´s earthquake and tsunami

Today, exactly one year ago, we had the strongest replicas since the February 27th eartquake in Chile. This morning I woke up and started my computer, hoping that this would be a wonderful day. Suddenly, I overheard my mom talking to my sister Fernanda about the 8.9 earthquake that hit Japan yesterday and the tsunami that came afterwards; she had heard this from my brother at five a.m. since he is in Vancouver, another area with tsunami alerts.
And then, I remembered that I had a dream last night, and this was totally weird: in my dream, Tokyo was hit with an earthquake and only thirty two people had survived and then this huge tsunami came rushing forth. I sat up on my bed, desperately wanting to know how on earth could I have dreamt that and wake up to a similar reality. It struck me so bad that I went to have breakfast and I noticed that the TV was on and there were reporting on the earthquake.
It was nerve-wracking to see the buildings collapsing and people in the streets running, trying to avoid the falling pieces. Then I saw the effects of the tsunami and I just couldn´t believe the damage it had done. I also saw the footage of the fire in the nuclear plant and how they were unable to cool it down and that they were already evacuating people within three miles of it. I saw ships, cars and house parts floating away to the ocean and this overwhelming feeling of being unable to help them in some way or another.
Some tsunami waves have already hit Indonesia and Hawaii, and though they are nothing compared to what happened in 2004 and 2010, I am glad that people are more aware of how to take precautions, of moving to safe places and that is something very important. It can simple be translated into all those countries, my own included, that experience that phenomena are assuming responsibility to ensure safety, to give people some kind of escape.
 I am wondering right now whether that dream was some sort of a premonition in some strange way of the quake that hit Arica, Chile yesterday and how people were scared of having the big earthquake that has been predicted to appear in that area.
My prayers go now to all those japanese that have died and the ones that have not yet been found, and of course, to all the survivors who have lost their loved ones. To them is my sympathy today, to send them hope, a light on the horizon, that people all over the world (me included) are worried about them and that we will help them, just like they have helped other countries in their time of need.
I don´t know how many people will be reading this blog today, but if you happen to come by, please leave your comments, a prayer, a message of hope to Japan and with it, will be able to be a strong community waiting for the first means to help them and this is one of them.
I say goodbye for now, but I think I´ll probably post some update later.
