A cubic metre of water weighs 1 ton, multiply that up by the amount of water and the speed in which the tsunami travels and it really is something you dont want to be in the way of.

i've been watching some of the reports from this today and feel so helpless -the looks on the kids faces who have survived will stay with me for a long time-go give your loved ones a hug tonight, you never know whats round the corner.

Yeah, I've stopping watching the news now...it's just all too much tbh

The sobering thought is that the death toll being quoted is likely to be very unrealistic and that a considerable amount of those missing people could well be gone. There was no warning for the population when the earthquake struck and 10 minutes after that there was a wall of water coming inland sweeping up all those homes.....

My mum was chatting with a Japanese women playing online bingo of all things, the lady was scared for her children and couldn't sleep...they're still having serious tremors there all the time (see here, over 100 more quakes in the area since the big one) and there is still a real threat although you would hope the chance of 8+ on the scale is near nil...

All this makes you realise how fortunate we are living in this part of the world really where this sort of thing is unheard of

I haven't got any words.

The loss of so many is so very, very sad.
