Help Japan: Millions Without Water

  You all know that Japan had a double-whammy on Friday with an 8.9 earthquake followed by a tsunami. If that wasn’t bad enough, a nuclear power plant has suffered an explosion.

UPDATE

   On Sunday MSNBC TV has reported that millions of people have no water and that many have no power. Also, a nuclear reactor is going through a slow meltdown and some 300,000 have been evacuated in the area.
