Yes... too soon

Apparently an Oil refinery went up in the fires.

Current news conference says it's the largest quake to Japan in recorded history.

Tsunami is over 7m they say.

Looks very nasty. I heard a short while ago that the confirmed death toll had reached 19. IT looks like a large part of the northeastern coast has been devestated!

TarJak.... have you heard anything about a warning there about tsunami's? The PTWC seems to have issued an alert for the entire Pacific.

The aerial footage of the wave hitting shore is amazing. The photography from this one will far surpass the Sumatra quake.

actually it's 200 or 300 people dead, and the thousands missing.. We hope Japan survives this, and we hope they don't build more escorts to make things smoother for us skippers
