One of my coworker's dad just just got into Sendai I think, but in any case, they have not heard from him and he was right near ground zero...

That's terrible, man!

He's a Mormon Missionary, so if it's God's will...

Science guy on CNN just said this is a positive tsunami, meaning the first water movement will be up and not down.

The first will go up, the water will pull back then a larger one will come in 20 minutes later. It'll come in 20 minute cycles for hours.

A Mormon? I hope he was wearing his magic underpants.

Then what is supposed to be a negative tsunami?

Water level goes down at first.

Water level goes down at first.

So that's like a boxer pulling his fist back before giving a sucker punch?

Pacific warning center said they had a water sensor trigger 100 ft inland and 10 ft above sea level on Kona.

A friend tweeted: "The headline you won't be reading: (Millions saved in Japan by good engineering and government building codes). But it's the truth."

My thoughts & prayers with the people of Japan.

If this had happened in China or Malaysia the death toll would be in the thousands.

About 200-300 bodies have been found washed up in Sendai.

It's freakin' crazy watching all these submerged vehicles and boats rolling under under overpasses in Kimaishi (sp). Some people on the overpass trying to figure out what to do, but they have nowhere to go. Hell on Earth.
