This is terrible news. I am often out of the loop due to not having a TV. I am really sad that this has happened again so soon after the first one. I shall be donating again to help the country that has brought me joy, entertainment, and games for all of my life.

My fingers are crossed that there won't be any further damages. The country's already suffered enough after March 11. It's a good sign if the Tsunami warning was lifted shortly after it was triggered, but it also shows they're on high alert in case something does happen.

Reposting this from the Japanese Culture thread :-
Honest Japanese return $2.3 Billion Yen in cash found in earthquake rubble At least the Japanese had something unique to be proud of here. Unlike the Americans after Katrina or the British recently.... |

Like I said earlier, I don't want to know what kind of $#!+ will go down in LA if (or when) a quake of this size goes off in SoCal. There hasn't been a truly large one down south for over 150 years, which is why local geologists are a bit worried. The one saving grace is that the most dangerous faults around here are on land, so no major tsunamis.

Hey, people also refused to leave Centralia, Pennsylvania (a ghost town whose fate was sealed by a coal mine fire; said to be the inspiration for Silent Hill); it's only fitting that someone would stay in one of Fukushima Prefecture's doomed towns. |

I'm wondering if that is the photographer's van and he's using it to line up the shots. or if the first two were before and the third was after and the van is slightly moved (meaning it runs) but put back to help identify the exact spot.
