Have been glued to CNN for hours since 2am today (inbetween sleep), but the worst is yet to come for these poor people. They're still having issues with the nuclear plant, fires are still out of control (tons of oil lost), people need rescuing, and one doesn't even have to mention the billions of dollars in damages. Sendai is out of clean water and electricity as well.
I haven't checked yet, but I'm hoping Hawaii and others didn't get hit as badly as Japan did by the tsunami this morning.
I feel sorry for them, I guess. WHERE WILL I FIND MY HENTAI?! :'(

Tokyo was hardly damaged by the quake as it's much further inland, your
precious hentai porn is safe.
You just can't kill the Japanese. WWII proved that there are two things that will survive a nuclear holocaust; the cockroaches and the Japanese. They will overcome this little quake. After all, aren't they pretty common place over there?
Yes, earthquakes are common in Japan and as such the people there are very used to them and have many safety precautions when one hits, so there will be far less casualties had they not been well prepared for such an event. But obviously this wasn't a common quake and took everyone there by surprise, airports damaged/destroyed, the famous Bullet Train completely stopped and no longer running.
They will overcome it slowly, but this is basically Katrina in Japan at this point (arguably worse).
Apparently there's been over 390 confirmed dead already.
