The Al Jazeera broadcast is great.

| Originally posted by Joss Weatherby I cant imagine we'd be that well of, compared to the Japanese. When I was over there I was taking special notice of their earthquake infrastructure. Maybe it was because I was in Kobe, and they did a lot of rebuilding, but almost everything seemed to be built to withstand earthquakes. All the highways and train bridges/elevated railways were built to sustain a large a quake. Not at all compared to a lot of parts of Seattle or Tacoma. |

they keep showing the same images. i wanna see what's happening now :/
This is awful for the people of Japan but we know from experience that they are leaders at engineering against earthquake damage so hopefully it won't bring down as much as it could do in other less developed regions, Haiti being a perfect example of that. The tsunami though could be the big killer depending if and where it makes ground and how well warned those people are.
jesus they're saying the tsunami in sendai was up to 33 feet
the first report i read was "13 foot tsunami"
Tsunami watch for west coast of US. If anything happens, Tsunami will hit San Francisco around 8:08am.
4 million buildings in Tokyo w/o power. WOW!
Hawaii doing mandatory evac of lower areas. sirens blaring in the middle of the night there.
Yea, I figure the sirens will be starting pretty soon on the Washington coast. Some parts of it are very flat, very far inland and this is the sort of thing they are very worried about there.

Apparently the entire Pacific Rim is currently under a Tsunami watch, at the least.
This type of stuff is always so surreal and saddening.

The Alaskan Way Viaduct in Seattle is a big concern, since viaducts like that one collapsed in Oakland and Kobe and killed many people.

online i read that they don't expect it to hit california or the west coast...but on TV now they're saying that it's still a possibility.

let's start a tranceaddict charity fund.
collect cash and send it to japan with some uplifting trance mixes.
they're saying now that the whole west coast of the US and canada has a tsunami warning issued
Goodness, what a dreadful mess.
...THE TSUNAMI ADVISORY IS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE COASTAL
AREAS OF CALIFORNIA FROM THE CALIFORNIA-MEXICO BORDER TO
POINT CONCEPCION CALIFORNIA...
...A TSUNAMI WARNING IS NOW IN EFFECT WHICH INCLUDES THE
COASTAL AREAS OF CALIFORNIA AND OREGON FROM POINT
CONCEPCION CALIFORNIA TO THE OREGON-WASHINGTON BORDER...
If anyone is still worried about Lira, I realized just now he had sent me his fiances phone number if anyone wants to try and contact him. I am sure he is fine though.

lira is able-bodied and remarkably intelligent...if the area he's in is dealing with the tsunami or other damage i'm sure he's fine. in fact, i'm sure he has a japanese woman in each arm, their ample-bosoms threatening to block his view as he carries them to safety.
