## Resource

A devastating 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck southwestern Japan’s Kyushu island, triggering widespread destruction, leveling homes, and causing a deadly mall explosion. With 34 confirmed deaths and one more under investigation, rescue teams scramble through collapsed buildings — including the packed Aeon Mall, where 7 died and 11 survived, and a paper factory where 9 perished after a chimney collapse. Thousands remain without power, over 9,000 in shelters, and officials race to restore electricity and cooling. The focus is on recovery, shelter, and assessing the full scope of damage as communities rally to rebuild. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
