Holy Holy Shit.
There has been a maximum intensity earthquake on the eastern coast of Japan.
Damage is huge and there is an all-Pacific tsunami warning.

I saw that. It hit east of Sendai and Tagajo where I used to live. 
I think I heard that only one life was lost which seems almost like a miracle with as much damage as happened. |

Death toll is now in the "hundreds" in Japan, and expected to rise.

Hawaii took a small hit, and California felt it also.
Reports are for damage, not casualties.

To make matters even worse is the radiation now seeping from the nuclear power plant. I hope they aren't facing another Chernoybl. With the aftershocks that will undoubtedly follow, this is a fragile situation that could easily turn into a disaster of catastrophic proportion.

For everything and everyone within 500 miles of the quake line, it is a disaster of catastrophic proportions.

NBC now reports that there are 2 nuclear power plants in trouble. They also reported that the power of the quake has actually moved the entire country of Japan 8 feet to the east. That is really difficult to comprehend just how much force that quake had.

That is amazing.
I'm also amazed at how calm and controlled the Japanese seem to be in dealing with this terrible disaster. Prayers sure go out to all the people hurt or lost because of this earthquake and the tsunami. |

I don't believe there is another country/culture who's people and authorities are as knowledgeable, well equipped or prepared. If this is a warning of things to come, a lot of us are in deep do-do. 
Side note:
Just got notice of 7.0 in Burma (Myanmar  )
[which is only 1% of what Japan had]

It was up near China, so they can share the pain.
