really wouldn't worry about it, if anything the quake a few months back near Hawaii was a bigger threat and that just caused rough waves by the time it got here. They just have to issue the warning as a precaution but Australia has already dropped their warning and they're almost twice as close to japan and take flooding MUCH more seriously there so what does that tell us.

Wow, I clicked on a random video on YouTube concerning the tsunami in Japan. One of the first comments was, "OH NO, MY JDM ENGINES FOR MY CARS!" Freakin' ricers priority. LOL. Terrible.

Damn news said hundreds are dead and hundreds are missing my prayers go out to everyone effected by this. We have family and friends all over and I just hope and pray they are safe and all your families and friends are safe. My cousin is stationed in Okinawa and he said he is safe.
