If you have family on the west coast of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, family in the Pacific Ocean, let them know EXACTLY what's going on and to take high ground.

God protect them all. Tsunamis are imminent for the West Coast. Japan was hit HARD. Expect waves now, with taller waves within the next 5 hours. 3 feet up to 15 feet and counting by then.

Was working overnight when a friend in Phoenix directed me to switch on CNN around 2am. Words can't describe much of the video.

I saw that video immediately upon waking. It was awesome, and very frightening for anyone effected. Mother nature can be a real mother at times... 04-jawdrop

This is nasty. No fighting mother nature. I hope this won't come to CA shores.

Japan is 2nd richest country in the world. I hope they got resources to deal with this. Either way, I hope rest of the world step it up and help them out.

Was said this morning that Japan had already applied for and was approved to receive foreign aid from several countries.

The west coast is going to miss the worst of it. Most tsunamis that originate in Japan strike the west coast of South America. The nations currently under a severe tsunami watch in the Americas are Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Honduras, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru. Antarctica is also under a severe tsunami watch, as are the Sandwich Islands in the south Atlantic...

Intense is the word I'd use to describe things. Hopefully the casualties will be minimized and the nuclear power plant will be stabilized.

The problem is with the cooling system, and the vapor release to stabilize the pressure is a last ditch emergency method to assist with cooling and prevent a meltdown. The repair of the cooling system is the main priority now, and they'll have to deal with after shocks while they do the repairs. Hopefully, there will be no more major shaking, or there could be more damage...

I told my wife that those scenes from Japan looked like a Godzilla movie.

I just looked, and while there is a tremendous increase in the radiation levels at the Fukushima Daiichi No. 1 reactor, it has not melted down as of yet. They plan another vapor release, and have shut down the reactor. Hopefully, the melt down can be prevented...

But the bad news is that a total of 5 nuclear reactors in Japan are in trouble. But none to the degree of the Fukushima Daiichi No. 1 reactor...

The main area of concern was from central Mexico south to Antarctica...
