There's also a situation report from Misawa AB (up north; this is a joint-use military airbase for both US and Japanese forces):

On the other hand, earlier today Rie Tanaka (Gundam Seed) reported from her Twitter account that her car was suddenly stuck in severe traffic caused by the earthquake.

Well she's a goddess so no harm should come to her.

OTOH, aren't you worried what is going to happen at your side?

My Hearts and Prayers to the people of Japan

I'm based in Manila, which is the least affected; only areas along the eastern side are the most affected and I'm sure they're okay by now.

Kesennuma...

Spoiler for Before the earthquake:

Spoiler for After:

The current official deathtoll is at 200+ but seeing footage like this makes that number look very optimistic.

Here's to hoping that no more pain is on the way.

i see what you did there

OT:

88,000 people are missing

Tsunami should reach my area of California in about an hour. Only a few hundred feet from where I live to the line of old industrial buildings near the water, so I'm gonna go see if I can notice the rise. I don't think it'll be very noticeable here until the tide comes back (just getting to low tide now) around ten hours later though.

According to this image Philippines should be within the 9H hit region, so the tide (or tsunami) might be coming in at around 12-1am GMT +8.

Please remind me if my geography still sucked though. I always have a horrible estimation of land areas.

Without helos and proper searchlight, plus that the civil defence is so stretched, saving a person from a rubble is like playing Russian Roulette in saving his/her family and neighbours. Save one and the other might die.

They hit the +6 - +9H time region now. Death toll is going to spike around 100-200 more within this time. By next morning (in around 7-8 hours) the death toll might hit 600-700.

We already got hit in the northeastern areas. Nothing major so far, but we're expecting the next waves right about now.

even though current news reports suggest Cal. and US coast in general will probably be ok, 'goin lookin for tsunami?' sounds like an extremely smart thing to do ...

*shakeshead*

I literally have no comment on those images. I can only offer my prayers and hope that the recovery efforts are underway as quckly as possible.

Shinndou · 2011-03-11, 10:20

I have a friend who's currently staying in Sendai for a foreign student exchange program between universities. He's well but apparently telephone lines are unusable and he's only somehow managed to contact us through the web. However he said there have been blackouts everywhere, the local transports (train) can't operate and obviously there are traffic jams everywhere since everybody is evacuating from the Miyagi prefecture...

Fran~ · 2011-03-11, 10:21

Well... i do know what feels a quake of that magnitude... from this little corner of the world my prayers to all the japanese people... we are connected by the ocean.

Be Strong...

Drake · 2011-03-11, 10:23

Absolutely terrible.

It's been on the news all morning and some of the videos and reports are shocking.

Heart goes out to all those effected.

sa547 · 2011-03-11, 10:28

To those who misinterpret this pic:

By that message, it means that the Japanese should get up, stand up and fight to fix their country; don't ever give up, don't be afraid, accept any help in any kind; remember the fallen and the lost, take care of the injured, feed the hungry, welcome strangers in homes, and keep hope burning.

Why fear when we have to give hope?

OBTW, we're clear of tsunami danger for now.

D-KLAC · 2011-03-11, 10:34

RRW · 2011-03-11, 10:35

RRW · 2011-03-11, 10:43

Condolences are worth nothing if they do not help these people to move on - that isn't real empathy. There has to be something to encourage the people to look forward to tomorrow rather than get stuck at the moment brooding - what we can find, we give. What we can't, we create.

I got a friend in Marunouchi missing for the past 9 hours, and his parents are unable to get anything from the embassy. And he hasn't tweeted, emailed, sms-ed or called any of us friends or even his parents. His mother called me twice already looking for news, and his phone, skype and MSN are unreachable.
