In the early hours of this morning, the earth sent out a powerful reminder of its strength and unpredictability. A series of massive earthquakes struck the Pacific Ocean, triggering widespread concern and emergency alerts across multiple regions.
As of now, a Tsunami Warning is in effect for Hawaii, with a Tsunami Watch issued for parts of Alaska and Japan. Authorities are urging residents in these areas to stay alert, follow official instructions, and prepare for potential evacuations. These alerts are not issued lightly—every minute matters when lives and coastlines are at risk.
To our brothers and sisters in Hawaii, Alaska, and Japan, we stand with you. If you live in one of the affected areas, please stay informed and take every necessary safety precaution. Monitor local emergency broadcasts, have a go-bag ready, and follow all evacuation orders immediately if they come.
For the rest of us, this is a time to pause, reflect, and pray. Natural disasters have a way of reminding us just how fragile life can be and how quickly everything can change. While we may not be in the path of this event, we can still show support—whether through prayer, checking on friends or family in the area, or preparing our own households for emergencies.
Let’s lift up our fellow Americans—and our global neighbors—in prayer. May God protect every soul, calm every wave, and guide first responders with wisdom and strength.
Stay safe. Stay vigilant. Stay hopeful.
