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.
Thanks for that update about Nintendo, I was actually wondering about this.

It's quite shocking to see the destruction that has been caused. Fortunately Japan is a country that expects these kinds of disasters and have very good relief response teams.

I think it's a little bit sad at the same time though as other disasters that have just occurred will be overlooked as a result of this (such as the Christchurch earthquake and the Libya unrest). I guess this always happens. Seems like the media attention to the Christchurch quake in particular wasn't given as much attention and that city was quite devastated.

Hopefully they can get help from a variety of sources.

on a side, Glad to hear Mura is okay.

Isn't sushi_b from Japan as well?
Or do they just know how to read Japanese?

If so, any word from them yet?

EDIT: Well, I see he snuck in a post as I was typing in mine.

He posted on his Facebook that he is alright. The hardest hit area was to the north, away from where he is.

It's a really good thing that this happened on a weekend for me. I just can't go to sleep with the Nuclear emergency. I find this far too interesting. I just really, really hope they can contain this and minimal damage comes from this to the environment and citizens.

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

Luke posted a video earlier saying that he was ok; that was a relief to see!

Unfortunately theres far too much conflicting information on the nuclear reactors. I hope that once the IAEA arrives we get a true and accurate idea of whats really going on.

I had heard of it 2 days ago, but i didn't think it to be so devastating. I have just watched a few YouTube videos, and man. There was one video, where a you see a whole city just fall to the ground, one house at the time.

http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/03/14/japan.disaster/index.html?hpt=T1 Well the Nuclear threat has deepend. The Japanese government is advising anyone who lives within 30km of the affected reactors to stay in doors as radiation levels are at levels that can impact human health.
