Country Stars Show Concern for Tsunami Victims on Twitter

A few days ago, one of the most devastating natural disasters to ever occur struck Japan full force. An earthquake registering at 8.9 on the Richter scale hit the country and many surrounding areas, including Hawaii and parts of the Western U.S. coast. The earthquake caused huge tsunami waves to crash down on shore, resulting in the massive destruction, high casualty numbers and the displacement of thousands.

As footage of the terrifying tsunami aired on the news all over the country, many celebrities took to Twitter to express their concerns for the people of Japan. Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift, Chris Young and many more extended their condolences over the weekend. If you want to help aid in the tsunami relief efforts, you can visit the Red Cross website or GlobalGiving's website to donate or volunteer.
