Ouch.....

scary stuff watching it come over all that farm land...

ABC now has live coverage...

And north of Australia is now getting warnings...

Yep, Australia, NZ, Peru, Chile

Unbelievable!! I heard about maybe five minutes ago. Unreal video on TV. Sure hope all the APers are ok. Thoughts and prayers go out to those affected.

the world seems a dodgy place right now, cant help but go back to the 2012 debate with all these natural diststers going on . .
have we any forum members from JApan? i hope they are ok

No APer's Freo boy,

But my wife lived in Japan for a year and I have stayed at the same folks place which got hit by a 4 metre tidal wave this arvo.... lovely folks...I hope they are OK...My wife will dig up their phone number during the weekend and hopefully we'll make contact with them.

Cheers.

Got another lot of picks from my in-laws visiting their son living in Tokyo,
sent just before the earthquake.

Had a contact with them, all OK.
His japanese wife is working in the same district as that burning refinery so all were very worried
but she is OK as well.

8.9 now...

Were only having a discussion about 2012 about an hour ago with my sisters that were over here watching the footage on sky news. Have had many discussions about this - an ag scientist friend is very interested in the links between the 'new age' prophecy
and scientific outlooks for around the same time and says its pretty uncanny...

The footage of all that water and debris rolling over the greenhouses is unbelievable... especially when your seeing cars being pushed off the road and a poor fella standing on the bed of his truck looking at it all bearing down and not having anywhere to go, people stuck on buildings... our thoughts are with them.

ATM they have just released that they have found 200-300 bodies along the streets of sendai, a boat missing with 100 on board - and a train is missing... and am looking at live night feed of hawaii while they wait and see whats going to happen there. 100 dead, 400 missing

...unbelievably horrifying.

For us in the U.S., we awoke to find out Peal Harbor and the islands had been hit with high surf, with more expected in California and Oregon any minute now. Most will be at low tide though, so no real damage is expected. The video of Japan is very disturbing.
