First NZ and now Japan... West pacific is getting shaken up.:(
Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.
Mostly retired Discovery member. May still visit from time to time.
Al Jazeera is airing this online. It's pretty bad over there, though it looks like south of Tokyo didn't take much damage. Tsunami damage seems to be mostly confined to northeastern Honshu, but I'd be surprised if the other islands avoided damage . . .
Terrible stuff, seeing some of the Vids on BBC News its just sweeping across the land with ease. My thoughts and condolences to the people of Japan, although on a slightly Minor upside, they are well prepared for such events.

You may not be able to get in contact with them for awhile . . . Apparently a lot of Japan's electrical infrastructure has been shut down for the duration, as well as much of its transportation. According to one of the Al Jazeera correspondants a few hours ago, getting a cell connection out of there was pretty difficult.
It doesn't look like the death toll is going to be horrifying as natural disasters go, but economic damage is going to be terrible. A lot of Japan's agriculture seems to have been thrashed, and they already import a sizeable amount of their food . . .
