I'm OK, you're OK

This morning I, along with the rest of Okinawa, was treated to a sudden awakening at 5:31am. The earth trembled and so did everything resting on it, including our beds. My first thoughts were, "You're in control, Lord, let Your will be done. Please protect us!"

Well, it measured 7.0 but it was also about 80km off the coast of Okinawa, so there was no damage reported anywhere, and although there were tsunami warnings at first, those were soon taken back when the 7-foot waves materialized as 1.7-foot waves. (Note: you can't "click to play" on the pic above, but if you click on the link above, you can see the video. It presents some interesting facts about earthquakes and how this one differs from the one that hit Haiti.)

So don't you all worry about Okinawa - not today, anyways! We're OK!
