The aftershocks of the earthquake are still shaking Japan at magnitudes of up to 6.3. The Japanese government estimates at least 1000 casualties; 500 people are still unaccounted for. California towns are still experiencing surges; docks have been destroyed, boats are sinking or floating loose and floating out to sea or running into things, causing more damage. In northern Mexico they are experiencing high waves, but no damage thus far.

I just heard back from Lou and someone out there must be looking out for her. Where she used to live? Sendai.

Where she is, she didn't even feel it and they never got a tsunami warning.

Yeah. All morning I could only think about where she used to live and not where she had gone, so.

I think, as of today, I'm going to become a pious man, I'm so relieved.

wow

I'm still rather concerned about Chile, the highest energy waves are still pointing directly at its coast.

The dude taking the video on the sea wall, crazy! Great video, crazy guy.

Glad to hear your friends all right.

Yeah, this tsunami's going to be causing trouble for a while yet. Those poor guys at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii aren't going to get to go to sleep, like, ever.

That stupid guy. Like, cool video bro, I'm glad I got to see it, but this is exactly how that guy in California got his ass sucked out to sea. You know, the one they haven't found yet.
