Oh, no, that is a big earthquake.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It's huge. And the accompanying quakes are really big too.

Gosh, that's scary. Japan is no stranger to earthquakes, but those are really really big.

Our wings are not tired.
It's the tsunamis that are terrifying me. And they're just beginning.

I think I am kinda sick. There is a massive tsunami hitting RIGHT NOW and the lady on CNN is interviewing someone and ... not mentioning it.
I mean, I am not certain but I think Japan is one of the best prepared countries for earthquakes both in terms of citizens preparedness and building codes. But there is going to be such destruction and, I fear, loss of life and ecology.

Yeah, with an island nation like Japan, it's the tsunamis that cause the worst damage.
Oh! Kilauea erupted a few days ago in Hawaii. I wonder if all that geological unrest is related?

Well lunar perigee is in a week or so. But then you have to look beyond "end of the world" freaking out to the fact that if you have stressors and a world that gets pushed and pulled by tides, there are going to be places that crack. The world is very geologically active.

Here's a link to a streaming feed of NHK World (English speaking) tv right now: [link]
I've got some script problems with it, but it's probably my security settings, you guys may do better with it. It's...kinda upsetting.
