Japan Tsunami

[TheBang]

I hope all the Japan Dirts are OK today. Sound off if you have any news.

yeah, i was wondering about the same. if anyone knows something about matt and the rest of the japanese dirts, please, keep us posted.

also, thebang, do you have a tsunami alert? is everything ok up there? chile has an alert for the whole day, the wave is supposed to hit chilean coasts during midnight.

ain't nice, since i'm going to my parents' house this weekend.

Matt just jumped on Skype. Everyone's all right there.

Tsunami will/might hit here in about an hour. We're well outside the flood zone, so I'm not in danger, but I'm concerned about how much damage and disruption there might be.

[ThingInABook]

good news :D! sending loads of good vibes to matt and all the dirts there!

yeah, waking up to see the masive wave on the telly wasn't nice. in fact, i'm terribly scared that another earthquake might hit soon.

Glad to hear everyone is ok... i have three friends over there who are thankfully ok! But to say they are shocked would be an understatement.. Earthquakes in Ireland are non existent, so for their first one to be an 8.8 has got to be a bit of a mind fuck.


Thoughts go out to all those affected..

Supermoon?

The scale of this one is just so hard to comprehend - 8000 times more powerful than the one that devastated Christchurch. Madness. Thank f-k those nuclear reactors in Fukushima were shut down in time (else today's blast would have taken this to a whole new level).

Incredible power indeed

Too heavy. None of my Japanese friends/family were affected - thankfully. I literally can't watch the coverage on television. Terrifying.
