Quake and Tsunami

Question

We don't have many members from Japan but I hope all members and their family and friends are safe. That was a highly unusual huge quake. The tsunami afterward was deadly. I know that the aftershocks haved continued; I think there has been at least one aftershock 5.0 or above each hour since the big 8.9 shake.

There is so much news that the news services have not been reporting. We have heard nothing about countries such as China and the Philipines or anywhere else that I assume the tsunami also reached. I think there has been desctruction in places of the world that our news is not tellnig us about. I hope everyone we know are safe.

I live on the other side of the Pacific and I have also experienced large earthquakes, but I hope I never experince a tsunami such as what Japan experienced nearly 24 hours ago.
