OT but God bless Japan

[Donnda]

By now almost all of the US is aware of the quake in Japan. I hope it's not as bad as the news portrays it. God be with the people of Japan. My prayers go out to them.

Anyone here on the West Coast been evacuated or affected by the tsunami warnings? I just heard the sirens sounded from Hawaii (heard this overnight on the radio when I couldn't sleep) and up and down the west coast of the US and in Alaska.

Don't we have a member that is currently a pilot on an airline in Japan? Can't remember who he is at the moment

Nevermind - it was Jeremy (jrmylmach1) - he posted to the thread in Free Parking. Glad to hear he's OK.

It is an amazing amount of destruction going on. Much worse than what you think is already bad enough.

Pray for Japan and the Japanese people. This is outside any expected event...

Sad news. I heard the tsunami generated enough power to run the USA for one month.

Checked in with my son near Santa Cruz, he said the harbour sank about 6 ' of water, lots of boat damage, so far about $15 mil in destructions. The only good thing about this that the Gov/defence got off their *** and set up a good warning system.
