A 9.0 magnitude earthquake occurred off the coast of Japan. It is one of the five most powerful earthquakes in the world since record-keeping began in 1900. Minutes after the quake, tsunami waves of up to 33 feet heaved ashore, and traveled up to 6 miles inland. Thousands of people are dead, thousands of people are injured, and thousands of people are still missing. Millions are without electricity and water. Reactors at a nuclear plant suffered explosions and contamination has resulted. And, it is snowing in Japan.
In Matthew we read: "For a nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places." (Matthew 24:7)
The Doctrine and Covenants tells of: "...the waves of the sea heaving themselves beyond their bounds." (D & C 88:90)
