    Damn. A friend of mine is in the Navy and his ship is deployed right now somewhere in the Pacific near Japan. I know he was in Japan a couple weeks ago. Hope everyone near there is ok.

    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.

    Seems like major earthquakes have picked up recently, no? Haiti, Chilie, New Zealand (multiple times), this...

    Also L'Aquila, Italy.

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

    I'm trying to reach some relatives via e-mail but nothing.....Most of mine are in southwest Japan but a few cousins are near Tokyo.

    Fingers crossed :(
