For the first time in a long time, I was up until 4 watching this on cnn/msnbc (won't touch fox news anymore...). Really terrible. The video of the wave just taking out all was heart-breaking. I hope that Japan's earthquake preparedness saved lives. Looked rather impossible to live through some of those videos.

The newscasters were asking the same questions over and over, just in different words. It's what made me turn it off in the end.

checking in from honolulu. seems we got lucky with 2ft sea level rise here. other islands reporting 7ft up to maybe 12ft. but the sun just came up now so we will find out the damage real soon.

Thanks、all guys.
Me, Gyrock lives in Yokohama is safe.
All trains around Tokyo were down until 23 o'clock. But anyway, I managed to get home now...
The earthquakes were horrible even here in Yokohama, 400km far from Miyagi, where the earthquake happened...
All I can do now is to pray for them all living there...

I've just looked at the Wiki page for the quake, link, major props to all countries who've offered aid. It gives me hope for the human race.

**scooter.jay** · 03-11-2011, 09:35 AM

**IvanAndreevich** · 03-11-2011, 09:52 AM

Yikes, I'm hoping for minimal casualties for our Japanese friends. Infrastructure will be rebuilt.

**IvanAndreevich** · 03-11-2011, 09:55 AM

According to this - http://ptwc.weather.gov/ptwc/text.ph...1.03.11.163801 - the tsunami, at least, doesn't look that bad

**clayton** · 03-11-2011, 10:05 AM

Well that sucks. A huge Earthquake followed by a Tsunami.

Thanks for letting me know, that doesn't sound too bad.

**m_jones_** · 03-11-2011, 10:27 AM

I hope everyone is safe and can get in contact with friends and family.

**OldChap** · 03-11-2011, 10:59 AM

Hopes and prayers for all affected

BBC news is reporting that the effects of the tsunami around the rest of the Pacific seem limited...... Here's hoping!

**G H Z** · 03-11-2011, 12:38 PM

Crazy earthquake

Nice to hear Katana members are alright

Hoping to hear from Miah soon.

**JohnZS** · 03-11-2011, 01:20 PM

My condolences and best wishes go out to Japan and the people of Japan.
This is truly a sad day

My hopes are with you all.

Watching the news all day of the horrible tsunami destroying everything that comes into its way really made me realize how lucky I am living in a place on the earth that is neither prone to earthquakes, tsunamis and hurricanes (yet at least, who knows how it'll look like in future with the climate changes etc).

Is there any easy way to donate some money over the internet to help affected people in Japan? I'm just a student but I don't mind donating at least a little, if many people do it it'll be helpful in any case.
