Starting to get real ugly now as things calm down a bit. They just found about 300 bodies near the ocean, probably sucked out to sea by the tsunami in Miyagi prefecture. Some of the waves went inland as far as 2-3 km there. Also mentioned on the news 23 junior high students missing, maybe trying to get home when the quake/tsunami's hit. Terrible stuff, thoughts go out to their families. Looks like an absolute disaster zone in the northern part of Honshu island. So many more still missing and unacounted for.
