No kidding Jerry! 
We're on high ground but can't imagine that wave coming at us.  Scary!

My heart goes out for them. It's so devastating. Earthquake, Tsunami, and then nuclear emergencies. I can only imagine waking up normal and going about the daily routine and then everything changes. Horrible. Can only wish them the best.

However, I have no doubt about Japan's ability. They've been through a lot and they will recover.

TOKYO – Japan's central bank pumped a record $184 billion into money markets and took other measures to protect a teetering economy Monday, as the Tokyo stock market nose-dived following a devastating earthquake and tsunami.

That is pretty amazing.  O0
