Posted on March 11, 2011 at 7:40amI was on a Pacific island when a tsunami warning was issued in Hawaii for an earthquake that took place near Figi. The island was located directly between the two points. Had it not been for a phone call from home I never would have known about it. The American media were only focussed on Hawaii forgetting that Americans vacationing on the many islands in between were at risk as well. The locals never learned of the warning. The tsunami never occurred but thanks to friends we were able to prepare.

Posted on March 11, 2011 at 7:41am@ GONZO ~~~ Right on! Just sitting here earlier making a list of “signs and wonders” that are occurring minute by minute in our world. Last week my husband and I both saw written (printed) in the sky very clearly and great big, A and then just a little later around that A the Greek symbol for Omega. Got our attention and prayers.
Our GOD IS manifesting HIMSELF all over the place trying to wake us up!
GOD BLESS AND PROTECT Dear Ones and even those who aren’t so “dear”. HE loves you anyway and maybe even more because you are still lost and running from HIM.

Posted on March 11, 2011 at 7:17amI would wish anything lke this on anyone, I worked in Japan for years and experienced one of their earthquakes that got our attention. However, for Japan itself I will never forget what they did to our WWII POWs. The Bataan Death March, the *** Hell Ships, the torture and medical experiments on allied prisoners that surpassed the cruelty of the nazis. Our POWs were beaten horribly, tortured daily, arbitrarily beheaded for the amusement of the *** troops. Our POWs were starved, and forced on Hell ships to Japan where they were humiliated by being marched through town naked and beaten by the locals and forced to work in their wretched and dangerous mines. To this day Mitsubishi, Mitsui, and Kawasaki are but some of the companies that enrichened themselves by our POW labor and to this very day have never apologized nor given even one dime of payment. This is deplorable and disgusting and to think our cockreoach President goes there and bows to them. Americans must NEVER forget what happened to our POWs, these poor guys were horribly treated and thousands were killed in the most horrible way. They were simply murdered by these miserable *** guards. This was not supposed to happen like that. On top of that these poor POWs had to deal with diseases of all sorts, beri beri, dysentery, malaria, its a wonder even one came home alive. I personally hold Japan accountable and think it is a disgrace our government does not do a damn thing about it until now. Obama bows instead to everyone and probably would even bow to the King of Burger King. He is a disgrace. If this seems like not the vehicle to send this message out I do not agree. I believe Americans should take a stand in defnese of our WWII heroes who suffered for us. Instead people line up to buy MItsubishi cars and trucks. Disgraceful. The South Koreans hate the Japs so bad you will not find even one South Korean importing a *** vehicle into their country. We should do that here instead of brusing it under the rug. Enough said, I have had my say. God bless our brave POWs of WWII.

Stay in touch with us, mate. Plan a track to high ground now.
If you see the tide go out a lot further than usual and then seem to stay out – run. Go as fast as you can. You will have a couple of minutes so be ready.
Hope your friends are ok.

Posted on March 11, 2011 at 7:44amThanks CATB for that information. Sadly Americans located in those other area may not yet be aware of the situation. If their only access to news is American media, they will be clueless because they fail to realize Americans are located in the other areas as well.
