    Thanks for the update.

    I'm up too, but I had to stop watching the coverage (much like the quake in Chch and the floods in QSLD), I get way too emotional. My mother likes to describe it as borrowing another person's pain. ;):)

    Thursdays are my long day I've been up since 5am... I took a break to watch a highly emotional (weirdly emotional?) episode of grey's anatomy - a show i've recently for some reason gotten hooked on :shock: - but now i'm back to watching.

    Just heard on the local news there are aftershocks,

    and 6 ft tsunami waves have hit hawaii.

    Also the West Coast US can be involved by 11AM Eastern.

    Good thoughts and prayers to everyone in Japan as well as Hawaii and West Coast US.

    Be careful west-coasters. I remember seeing tsunami evacuation routes on the Oregon Coast.

    I'm thinking Hawaii, and us on the west coast avoided any issues.

    That said, don't think I wasn't thinking about a surge of water coming into San Francisco Bay as I took the train through the transbay tube (from SF to East Bay) just before 8 am this morning.

    Can't be said enough, thoughts to all in Japan and elsewhere in the east that are going through some horrible times.
