    DAMN! This is pretty terrifying stuff. Nuclear power plant took damage and is on fire. Cooling system down?? The way the water rushed in and tossed cars and pushed boats around, HOLY! Nightmares of Indonesia devastation again...

    Video if anyone hasn't seen this yet:
    http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2...e-tsunami.html

    Google's saying:

    Tsunami Alert for New Zealand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Hawaii, and others. Waves expected over the next few hours, caused by 8.9 earthquake in Japan.

    Nuclear plant fire extinguished. Oil refineries still on fire. Bullet train missing? 60 dead confirmed but toll expected to rise.

    8.9 would make it a once in a century Quake for that area.

    They always have Quakes in that spot, this one is definitely larger than normal. Tokyo is in decent shape.

    BC coast is lucky, it will hit during low tide.

    The scariest bit is watching the car around 2 minutes in do a 3 point turn and floor it. Barely outruns the wave

    8.9 is a pretty damn big earthquake, even for a well-prepared country like japan. and i mean, you can only prepare so much for tsunamis caused by that kind of shaking, if even at all possible. i hear there's already like 300 unconfirmed bodies so far which will likely only go up. it's gonna be lots of $$$ cleaning japan up
