It is definitely hard to comprehend. I have only felt slight tremors when I was in CA. I will deal with hurricanes, thank you. I know how to protect myself from those!

Well I was just thinking about this and after posting my account on our storm the other day it really make our harsh weather seem like nothing compared to some of yours
The North American continent has some of the most violent weather on the planet.
In So Cal we don't, but we pay for it in earthquakes.
Yeah, it's a trade off. LOL

It is heart breaking what has happened to these poor people 
Wow! The devastation! It is , indeed, heart breaking.
When I got married, we went on our Honeymoon to Acapulco, Mexico and stayed in a Hotel on the beach at about the 14th floor.
There was a bad earthquake, the epicenter being about 60 miles away. The whole building swayed and the bed was bouncing on the floor like the Exorcist movie.
I've always said from then on that I made the Earth move on our Honeymoon.
PS: Actually, it awkoe me around 4 AM but my Wife would have slept though it if I hadn't awoken her despite sounds of glass breaking and crashing.
That is a honeymoon experience you won't forget!
Terrible.
I never fully understood the power of a tsunami until watching some of the videos. Watching people trying to escape the mass of water in their cars, other homes, cars and debris tumbling in the flood.
It's like scenes from a disaster movie.
End of the world is nigh.

Thanks for that link. Good post. 
Well I for one will not be complaining about the wet weather and cold we get over here again!
I can't imagine what those poor people are going through.
The TV images are unbelievable!
I hope they get the reactor under control!

That tsunami defies belief. I was watchig the videos of it this evening. Makes me glad I no longer live on the coast.
Looks like they had another explosion at the one reactor so thing are not looking great for that either
I finally heard from my Japanese friends near Tokyo and they are all OK.
They made a lot of friends during the few years they were here and everyone was naturally quite worried.

That is great news Rocky thanks for letting us know
I see they have had a Second Explosion At Fukushima Nuclear Plant

Thanks for the update, Rocky. I am glad they are safe. Things are looking worse over there; but Japan will recover.
