We first heard what happened Friday morning over our motel breakfast. Then every evening we alternated between CNN and the Weather Channel (to plot our itinerary and stay out of weather trouble ranging from severe flooding to tornadoes). Riveted to the TV screen we watched the horror evolve.
How can any of us take in the enormity of what has happened? We saw Anderson Cooper of CNN lose his cool with a new tsunami warning (Can I get out of here? Am I safe? Can I get out of here?) that didn't materialize. And last night, Diane Sawyer of ABC at a loss for words as she picked her way among rubble. One doesn't need to know Japanese to understand what people are saying.
If there were any questions left about our connection to each other, this triple disaster erases them.
