Surf's UP

[patchin]

J, ya gonna hit the beach this morning?
On a serious note, though, looks like a lot of destruction in Japan. 23 foot psunami! Just saw the pictures. Pretty bad. 8.9, wow.

I'm suited up and ready to go!

Actually I look down on the evacuation center, so I'm good. My fingers are crossed for my friends on the low lands, this could get ugly...

 

[sfboarders]

Tsunami should be coming soon. They say 3 ft.

 

[iCon]

eesh. 1906 was 7.9 and 1989 was 6.9


Here's a simple link that shows the implications of difference in magnitude

Oh man those videos in Japan look bad.
We visit those low-lying eastern parts sometimes when we're working over there. Nothing in the way to stop anything. Flat and at sea level for a long long way inland...
