Wow. Some of that footage is just crazy to see.

I've heard the entire western United States and Canada are under tsunami alerts

Very big news as a bit of a geographer. Has anybody seen the footage of that huge whirl pool with a ship caught in it?

Well, I hope everything is all right and that it wasn't anywhere near muraguru! Let's hope for the best.

I was in a panic when I heard about it because I have three friends who are in Japan right now. Thankfully, they are okay but I'm sad to hear about the casualties.

That's it? Stuff basically shakes around for a bit?
Where's the giant crevices that split the earth asunder and suck all the innocents in??

Im kidding. It's scary, cause i live on the west coast of canada and we're supposed to be in for something massive at some point. Then again California was supposed to sink some time ago wasn't it...?

Yeah, BC is bracing for what could be 7 to 10 foot waves on the coast. Really makes you appreciate (and fear) the wrath of mother nature, that's for sure.

These aren't the droids we're looking for.

You can view footage captured by people in Japan on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/citizentube

I've never felt an earthquake before, and I really don't want to >.>

Japan, it's people, and anyone currently visiting there are definitely in my thoughts, as is the west coast!

Well that's great, but I too have seen a lot of footage and live feeds and it is truly devastating how people within the thirty minutes' range couldn't even be warned.

I'm currently watching MSNBC and they say, that this earthquake could trigger, many others, for an unknown amount of time. My prayers go to those in Japan right now.

Id be way more terrified about the leaking nuclear radiation than the tsunamis.

I really hope they can contain any radioactive materials.

Watching these videos it's really hard to swallow. I can't believe how bad it really is.
Thoughts are with all those affected, and I hope for their safety and a quick recovery of their damaged land.

Things aren't looking good with the nuclear reactors.

11.10pm GMT: The Fukushima Daini plant has now been added to the government's emergency list.

11pm GMT: The Kyodo news agency is reporting that the Japanese government is ordering Tepco to open valves on the Fukushima Daiichi No 1 reactor to release pressure.

10.45pm GMT: Now there are reports from nuclear plant operator Tepco that the Fukushima Daini plant has lost cooling to three of its reactors.

It was one reactor in the Fukushima Daiichi plant that had been the cause for concern earlier – so this news is certainly unwelcome.

According to Dow-Jones, Tepco says that the temperatures of its No 1 and No 2 reactors at its Fukushima Daini nuclear power station are rising, and it has lost control over pressure within the reactors.

Fukushima Daini station is the second nuclear power plant the company has in Fukushima prefecture in northeastern Japan, where the troubled Fukushima Daiichi plant is located.

10.34pm GMT: The damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor has already been leaking radiation outside the plant, confirms Japan's nuclear safety agency and the operator, the Tokyo Electric Power company.

Compared with the government briefing last night that everything was fine, that's a turn around.

According to AP, the continued loss of electricity has delayed the planned release of radioactive vapor from inside the reactor to ease pressure. Pressure inside one of the reactors had risen to 1.5 times the level considered normal.

This is a reminder how we are all equally vulnerable to unexpected disasters beyond our control. These are always the sort of things people take for granted that only happen to "other people" until they are involved.

Anyone can easily donate ten dollars to the Red Cross to add to the Japan relief effort by texting “Red Cross” to 90999. This is an accredited, legitimate donation.

In a small piece of gaming related good news, Nintendo of America on their official Twitter feed has reported that no employees of Nintendo in Japan have been injured in the disaster and that Nintendo Headquarters has sustained no apparent structural damage.
