Raw Power

A terrible earthquake devastated Japan last week. Waves thirty feet high crashed very far into the main land. The waves wiped out everything in their path. It also triggered problem at a nuclear power plant. Aside from this being a horrible tragedy, it does give you a sort of respect toward the power of mother nature. The only things that were still standing after the water receded were the trees. Why is it that mother nature can destroy a building but leave a tree in the same place? Here is a before and after photo of Japan. As you can see, the trees were the only things that did not get swept away.
