Japan Quake/Tsunami
Re: Japan 8.9M Quake/Tsunami
Yeah the status feed on Facebook is going crazy as well. All of the people I know are in the Kanto region and alright. My old roommate had this to say:
Odaiba caught on fire, tons of broken glass, no gas, and a lot of cars are now parked in the ocean. The worst thing by far is that the trains stopped running. It takes an hour to hail a taxi to get onto jammed streets. The whole city is on foot, it's like a zombie/Armageddon movie. Not lookin forward to the 2 hour walk.

I wish everyone well. Coworker has family in the country and says land lines are still down, cellular services are overloaded.
Re: Japan 8.9M Quake/Tsunami
My thoughts are with all you guys in Japan and anywhere the Tsunami's might strike next. Yikes! I hope everyone stays safe.

Re: Japan 8.9M Quake/Tsunami
Wow. This is horrible. I feel so sad for everyone in Japan. It's painful to watch the news and see so much death and destruction going on. I was crying when I first heard about this. I can't imagine what they are going through right now.
Is there anything we can do to help? Dunno what I could do except send money. If there is a good place to send money or some other way we can help the people in Japan, please post here.

Prayers and thoughts go to all those affected and anyone on the forums that has family and friends out there.
