I just saw the news - I had to grab my father's attention because he loves Japan.

**TWA** · 03-11-2011, 01:51 AM

This is really bad.

Tsunamis set to hit all across the Pacific Rim. Hawaii will probably be hit. Hope everyone can get to high ground in time.

**Jiro** · 03-11-2011, 01:56 AM

terrible.... but same ole' disaster.... hope the causality rate is very low

chillinndylann · 03-11-2011, 02:29 AM

Just saw this too..sad. I hope their country bounces back. $_$

**Chevy57** · 03-11-2011, 06:17 AM

I was shocked to watch it on TV this morning. Massive Tsunami may covered some of Northern Japan islands. 8.9 richter scale is largest earthquake in Japan's history since 1800. Wow!

**Reba** · 03-11-2011, 06:42 AM

The news footage of the widespread destruction is shocking.

Alicein1derland · 03-11-2011, 06:54 AM

I just watch that video clip you shared with us. Now that is so worse...

Alicein1derland · 03-11-2011, 07:12 AM

Soon Hit CA too!

Frisky Feline · 03-11-2011, 08:08 AM

can't view it. just learned about it.

I did not mean to say that but hope they all can bring animals over here and put them for adoption. Those peoples are in my thought.

TheOracle · 03-11-2011, 08:27 AM

Holy shens. I need to call my step mom.

rockin'robin · 03-11-2011, 09:05 AM

Absolutely horrific...just read where they have found 200 bodies washed up on the shore....Tsunamises scare me more than anything else in this world...

violet · 03-11-2011, 09:15 AM

all the videos are so sadd... I really hope not too many people were hurt. We can only hope for the best!

lanapoo · 03-11-2011, 09:52 AM

According to BBC, there's more than 88,000 people missing.

The death toll is going to be very high.

Plus, the dam just broke in North Japan, causing even more damage. Japan earthquake live blog: Japan dam breaks, scores of homes lost – This Just In - CNN.com Blogs

**Dixie** · 03-11-2011, 11:07 AM

This is just so heart breaking. Thankfully Japan isn't in dire economic straights the way Jakarta and Haiti are. But still the recovery will be massive and likely will take years to get Japan back to where they were.

I am surprised the Japanese Prime Minister has not issued a statement yet as President Obama has already said the United States will stand by Japan in it's recovery process.

From what I understand the death toll is expected to be in the thousands before all is said and done. =(

Royale · 03-11-2011, 11:13 AM

My thoughts and prayers are with Japanese people in those affected area.

I got two cousins who are teaching English there. I hope they are okay.

Royale · 03-11-2011, 11:15 AM

Tsunami speed comparable to clip of jumbo jet - CTV News

It is so powerful! No wonder the people in those affected area had little time to get themselves in safe zone.

sara1981 · 03-11-2011, 11:45 AM

oh yeah Japan got really mess up after attack and try cleanup its hard!! Remind of Katrina in 2005

Santa Rita · 03-11-2011, 12:03 PM

Those natural disasters caused by Mother Nature are not the problem as they have been natural occurrences for centuries. We are the ones who created this problem.

Over-population of certain areas along the fault lines is the sole problem or reason for a high causality rate. Over-populated areas along the fault lines, such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Mexico City, Tokyo, Madrid, and many others, are ripe for made-made disasters caused by those natural occurrences.

Regardless of all what I stated above in my post, I pray for the people whose lives are affected by tsunami wave.

**Reba** · 03-11-2011, 12:41 PM

This earthquake was 3,000 times stronger than the 1989 San Francisco quake.

There is a risk to one of Japan's nuclear reactors overheating.They're evacuating the area. They will release radioactive vapor to relieve the pressure.

**Jiro** · 03-11-2011, 12:41 PM

I'm concerned about its damaged nuclear power plant

Frisky Feline · 03-11-2011, 12:46 PM

Oh no!

i feel bad for those people lives there who are affected by everything that are damaged.

snallga · 03-11-2011, 12:56 PM

I saw news about it this morning. I deeply sympathies for the people in Japan. I heard that the death toll is having more than 400 there.

I am wondering any deaf people in Japan got hurt or lost their life?

UptownG54 · 03-11-2011, 12:56 PM

This is so sad all my thought all those people i mean wow look how it badly that is I'm concerned for all this and they are in my prayer hope god can help them this hurt with all my might heart for those poor children.

Waves sweep 4 out to sea in Crescent City as tsunami surges reach west coast | News10.net | Sacramento, California | News

Four swept out to the sea in California.

authentic · 03-11-2011, 02:05 PM

No severe hit in San Francisco yet. They hit Santa Cruz, and Crescent City which is about an hour north/south of San Francisco. I am still keeping an eye on it until tomorrow.

lanapoo · 03-11-2011, 02:11 PM

Not sure if this is real...

Edit:
Not real. But still amazing to look at.
