A Tsunami Warning means that all coastal residents in the warning area who are near the beach or in low-lying regions should move immediately inland to higher ground and away from all harbors and inlets including those sheltered directly from the sea. Those feeling the earth shake, seeing unusual wave action, or the water level rising or receding may have only a few minutes before the tsunami arrival and should move immediately. Homes and small buildings are not designed to withstand tsunami impacts. Do not stay in these structures.

Yes... my thoughts are with all of you... Tsunami warning issued for at least 50 areas after quake - CNN.com looks like most of the impact maybe further south but still I will keep you all in my prayers...
