As for the damage in japan....its not going to be pretty when they total things up. Even though those initial pictures of the waves were hitting relatively scarce populations, it was so widespread it will most certainly bump the death toll to a really unfortunate number. they just had no where to go.
They now have warnings or watches out for 50 different countries. This is an unprecedented event in our lifetime.

Thanks for the concern. Thankfully we had put a couple of earthquake emergency packs together last summer, with canned/ready to eat food, first aid, about 20L of water, flashlights, etc. So we'll be ok, hopefully we don't have to use them. It's been about 5 hours since the big quake and still getting a few small tremors coming, and the tsunami warnings are still up on the TV. Lucky to still have power in my building.
More and more home vids are coming on the news here now, and the damage tally is definately getting bigger by the hour. Many more fires and damaged buildings than originally thought.
