I'm just staring at the television and the internet feeds in horror. The devastating visuals are so hard to process. You see people on tv as they replay footage of the tsunami, and I can't imagine they're still alive. It's not just water rushing at them, it's the debris that the water is carrying. The tsunami warnings are being extended. Taiwan's just gotten a wave. The western US is now on warning. Prayers for everyone involved. So many injured, dead, and awaiting news of evacuation. More than 50 countries are on alert.
Update: They're now reporting there were tsunami waves as far as Hokkaido. I would imagine that's less populated, but again, the horse farms. They probably aren't near the beaches, but I don't know the area very well. Who knows where the workers live. I hope they're okay.
