Japan earthquake latest
2011-03-12
From the Daily Mail in the UK. If you haven't read a lot so far this is a good place to start. Many, many pics and video with an emphasis on the events in and around Sendai. This story does not update the nuclear reactor situation in Japan.

Prayers for all involved.

#3  Ah, yes, that's the story that contains this gem of writing:

Hawaii and a number of low-lying islands including Guam were hit by the waves while The Red Cross has warned that the tsunami is higher than many of the islands themselves.

While technically true that many little islands in the Pacific are basically giant sandbars, this sentence makes it seem as if the tsunami is higher than the Hawaiian islands. If a tsunami reaches the top of Mauna Kea (14,000ft), we're all screwed.
