Earthquake in Japan

I think that the earthquake in Japan has done a lot to effect the whole entire world. Now that it has moved Japan and affected the earths axis that could do all sorts of things to the worlds weather. Also the big tsunami changed peoples life forever. I have never lost a brother or sister or a family member but I have lost people really close to me. I can not even imagine what it would be like to lose your family members to something so tragic like this and not even being able to say goodbye or anything. Not only that but this whole deal has caused the mud to set like concrete. Because the mud that comes into the with the tsunami is like an avalanche when it stops it sets immediately, with how fast this is all moving by how fast it stops it sets up just like concrete. This terrible thing happened to many houses and cars. Thousands of peoples homes and most valuable possessions were lost in this, it is mind boggling to think what they are going through. But personally the best way to get through this would just give as much help to all of them as possible. I think there is bigger issue happening as a result of this massive earthquake, the Nuclear power plants. With this leak in the power plant and not being able to get to the emergency shut of room is a very big problem. With all of this radiation leaking out it could cause a extremely large amount of casualties. Maybe not right away but in the future it could cause people to have cancer. As we have seen the effects that can happen from radiation poison from the Nuclear bomb the United States set off in Japan during WW2. This can cause birth defects too. So far from all of the radiation that has leaked it has poisoned many beef farms. The radiation in these farms is predicted to take 30 years to get rid of completely and it be safe to farm again. This is a very bad thing for the worlds economy, knowing that it is quite bad this is not helping one bit. And since Japan can not export things that are normally grown on farms it will not be able to be sold in our stores and we will start to have a shortage of these important foods. Also it has effected the car industry quite a lot! Because certain car parts that are made over in Japan can not be sent over to our factories. And parts needed over in Japan can not receive them from our factories. Also many car paint colors are not able to be used. There are about 10 colors that can not be used recently. Black and gray are two main ones, mostly for pick up trucks though, and that loses sells for people at car dealer ships because people are usually set on one kind of color car that they want. This also has a very negative effect on our economy. Hopefully Japan can get all of the money and aid needed to get back on their feet and have things back to normal soon. Many people who have houses that were effected by the radiation are told they will not be able to go back into their homes for at least a month if not more. This is also bad because now these people have no place to stay. I feel sorry for all of the victims of Japan and just hope the best for them.
