Daybreak reveals huge devastation in tsunami-hit Japan
Japan confronted devastation along its northeastern coast on Saturday, with fires raging and parts of some cities under water after a massive earthquake and tsunami that likely killed at least 1,000 people.

Daybreak revealed the full extent of damage from Friday's 8.9 magnitude earthquake -- the strongest in Japan since records began -- and the 10-meter high tsunami it sent surging into cities and villages, sweeping away everything in its path.
Words fail me.

May those still alive be rescued, the nuclear reactor cooled without further harm, and there be everything there needs to be to help them recover from this disaster.

Here are some ways to help:
