Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Thank you, Liese.

Whoah! That sounds like a huge quake! Damn, I was just doing the pre-bedtime check one last time...and there's really news! Eek.

Oh, Miyagi Prefecture looks awful. I don't have the bandwidth to keep watching all night.

My Hawaii people say the tsunami warning for them is 3 am their time, so that's what, 6 am for me, 5 board time?

I know, meara! I was just getting ready to head to bed, but now I'm all upset.

Does Japan use a different scale, not Richter, for earthquakes? I am seeing wildly different numbers reported. It doesn't change what happened, clearly. But it is confusing me and since I can't do a damn thing else...

I think it's just early, so the reports are inconsistent. It'll probably be a clearer picture in the morning.

USGS is saying 8.9, which is consistent with the report you heard earlier, right?

China got hit too. I presume same earthquake?

Yes.

They only had a 7.1 earlier that I could clearly see. Though that could have been the aftershock showing more prominently. They had the 6.8 pre showing too.

Man, that is a big earthquake.

And I should learn to navigate beyond the shakemap.
