I agree, terrible loss of life and the worst part is that it's not over. Hawaii is being hit with Tsunamis and the coastal areas here in SoCal are under a Tsunami watches.

I was watching the live feed of the tsunami first coming ashore and couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was like a disaster movie come to life. I wanted to believe that the cars and buildings were empty, but I knew that wasn't true.

What could make this worse? Possible melt down of a couple of nuclear power plants. Yikes, not good! I hope those people can get the hell out of there.
