[governance] 8.9 earthquake in Japan

[Izumi AIZU]

Yes, terrible, horrific, indeed. the tv news and video messages from
Internet is beyond words.

The probability for M 7+ earthquake to hit Japan North East region with 30
years has been - 99%. But no one expected M8+.

There is little damage in Tokyo (5 people were killed), but we still
feel afterquake every hour or more.

Total number of loss might reach a few thousands, at least.
