Disaster in Japan, my hope and prayers go out to the people of Japan - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

If you haven't heard already there has been a large earth quake in japan, 8.9, with several large after shocks and very horrible tsunamis. It shocking footage and reports are coming in of dead and missing already. It hard seeing water washing away entire villages. I hope everyone here on the forum from japan is ok and I hope that anyone you may know are ok also.

quakes did ZERO damage by the way since the quake was off-shore. all their buildings are built to handle it cus they get so many. there's videos in Tokyo of the earthquake happening and people are still driving along and walking casually down the sidewalk...

the damage was all from the Tsunami and only in north eastern Japan:

I must disagree with you. There was damage from the earthquake. The tsunamis caused a lot more damage though.

Good to have a field reporter, to keep us straight from the over dramatic news here

Sending good thoughts their way. Not much of a praying person, but they're on my mind.

Godspeed

hmm the reports i read early in the morning said there was none but i guess none had been reported yet.

looking at these new videos posted it's pretty nuts:
