The last I've heard (and I am by no means sure how accurate this information is):

- estimated over 10,000 dead ?
- still battling the possibility of a reactor meltdown ?
- 4,000,000 people without power ???
- one or more oil refineries damaged or destroyed ?? (likely to push up bowser prices?)
- lots of factories damaged/destroyed (how many?)
- Tokyo stock market down 5% (may go down more?)
- I don't know how many homes were destroyed (a lot, whole towns)
- possibilty of more aftershocks ?

These are casualty "estimates" from the newspapers here, with the qualifiers "at least" and "so far". It could be much higher.

I recall the estimates from the IIRC 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean kept growing daily, and rising fast. Started in the thousands and finished up at an estimate of IIRC over 220,000. This is a total disaster and could get worse, much worse.

I saw one report that stated 10,000 people were missing from a village.

DFG, CBC news is reporting that one of the planets went supernova!

I feel sorry for you.

I haven't read/seen enough to know which city, but one of the harder hit was the size of Dallas. That's not small. It was a "major" network scrawl.

You are a true idiot.

All the farm land laid to waste due to the salt water.

As I said, disaster porn junkie...

Geez, parked a car on top of a 3 story building

thats ~25 ft

Looks like the building is in a valley. The water coming in would get higher than on a plain.

Better make sure you don't live in a valley, Doc. When the meteor strikes in the Gulf, the water rushing at you will get higher than you thought!

Wow! that was a tall wall of water.

The car was probably there before...
