well when I called some family members this morning to let them know my daughter was ok, they had already seen her status on her facebook page. I guess all is good there.

there are two damaged US Subs in Guam and the son in law was in port ;o(
i'm glad they are ok there is no tsunami damage here either, so i'm going to bed. friend in japan is still experiencing severe aftershocks, though.

We are praying for them to find safety, and that we hear from them soon.

Watch this massive wave of debris wash over a bunch of green houses and fields. Towards the end you can see people in cars trying to turn around and flee, really scary!

It's not horrible, no gore, but it is definitely a "Don't mess with Mother Nature" moment.

If you saw the vids of the tsunami in indonesia it's no worse.

1708: Nuclear physicist Dr Walt Patterson tells the BBC it sounds like there is a "serious problem" at the Fukushima-Daiichi plant. "It's the sort of thing that nuclear engineers have nightmares about," he says. "If it is not resolved in the next few hours it will get serious. If the core is uncovered, then those rods at the top may get hot enough to melt themselves."

The amount of debris in that wave is just incredible, not to mention it is on fire too. I have watched it several times now, it really is scary and makes you realize how helpless you would be in a situation like that...

Actually it's the largest for Japan, it's fifth largest in the world.
