    There have been some aftershocks (7.1 is the only magnitude I've heard of the other ones, but there's been at least 1-2 more besides that at least 6.0 I think)

    I was about to post about this earthquake an hour or so ago but I didn't think it was going to be too bad. Looks like it's terrible. 10 meter tsunami hit an airport, supposedly.

    Pray for them if you believe in God.

    Tsunami might hit Taiwan and Guam.

    The only good news is that Japan has been preparing for this.

    The following list gives estimated times of arrival for 
locations along the North American Pacific coast from a 
tsunami generated at the given source location.  The 
list is ordered by arrival time starting with the earliest. 
Since tsunami speed is directly related to 
water depth, tsunami ETAs can be computed independent of 
tsunami amplitude.  THE LISTING OF A TSUNAMI ARRIVAL TIME 
BELOW DOES NOT INDICATE A WAVE IS IMMINENT. The listed arrival 
time is the initial wave arrival.  Tsunamis can be dangerous 
for many hours after arrival, and the initial wave is not 
necessarily the largest.
