If you guys haven't heard, a 8.9 earthquake went off 150 miles from Northern Japan shores and the resulting tsunami is ripping up the country.

Tsunami watch here in Hawaii.
If it hits, it'll be 3 in the morning.

Post from my locked topic:
Linkie to news report



Two days ago, Japan was hit with a 7.2 earthquake, buildings shook, but there were no massive damages.
The city of Honaku was hit a few hours ago with an 8.9. No detail on projected deaths, injuries or property damage yet.
Apparently, in addition to a quake, it also generated a 30 foot tsunami that's sweeping over the country.

My local news station would be covering more of this, if they weren't so preoccupied with the drug raid on Charlie sheen's house.

If only we had people in japan like we had in Wisconsin...


BTW,  a oil line to a power plant just exploded, and power is out everywhere.
This is not the greatest concern however, the REAL power plant that everyone is afraid of is Honshu's nuclear power plant, also a matter of concern 2 days ago.
The 7.2 two days ago may have been a godsend, as hopefully some people may have evacuated due to instability.

It felt a bit like a movie in which two stoners try to steal a military helicopter

Isn't the earthquake going to effect Russia too? Or was I stupid enough to misunderstand the news report?
