Earthquake and Tsunami hits Japan.

This is just in on the News, Tokyo, Japan was just hit with an 8.8 Earthquake and a 6.4 aftershock, plus a tsunami too.

CBS in Los Angeles says the Quake is an 8.9, Sounds pretty danged BIG.

The Tsunami was 13' deep at least and the earthquake came from over 6 miles down and off shore too.

There is the Possibility of a Tsunami wave hitting the US, Currently It's only a Watch, Mainly Hawaii for the moment, This is most likely very real and would be no drill.

There's an oil refinery in Japan that's on fire and Japans 5 Nuclear Power Plants are scrammed(Shut down). They mention the Sentai area.

It's now mentioned that the Tsunami wave is 30' tall and It hit on Japans North East Coast...

Wow! I'm glad I'm inland. Hopefully the causalities wasn't too high.

Hawaii is evacuating now, People are heading for high ground. Sirens are sounding and their expecting 1(3.28')-5(16.4') meters of water.

This is crazy. Their saying ships should head out to deep water to ride out any of the tsunami waves as It's not just one wave.

Here the quake shows as an 8.9, In Japan the Quake is a Magnitude 8.4, They use a different scale.

Pray for the folk along the coastline I guess and just hope loss of life, if any, is at a bare minimum. Given the close proximity of the epicentre the reality is that they would not have had much time at all to respond. I mean, tsunamis are pretty rapid movers.

Fox in Los Angeles(KTTV) is covering this and so far there are 5 known deaths in Japan, Also the tsunamis are taller than some islands in the Pacific Ocean Fox said.

3' tall waves to hit California Fox said.

San Francisco 8:16am

Fox had this up on screen, I typed what I could, As they mentioned a 4th city that I couldn't get, I'm just not fast enough a typist.

Their advising people to stay away from the Ocean, Sounds like good advise to Me.

There will definately be fatalities. May they be few as possible.

Here's your latest NOAA info. I don't expect a '2012' scenario rattling your bones.

My thoughts and prayers are with all those in Japan, and those in the path of the tsunamis...

May all your loved ones, and animals be safe.
