the news is saying the tsunami is bigger than some pacific islands, and that the quake off japan was 1000 times stronger than the one that devestated christchurch a few weeks back. fingers crossed for every one in the pacific basin, our prayers and hopes are with you all.

Get a clue, 1000 times stronger? try 27% stronger.

Also the magnitude is one of three important factors. Others being where it is centred and depth. C-Chruch was centred in the middle of the City. Japan's is 130 kilometres from the coast. Japans is 10 km in depth which is worse than C-Church.

Blackout is everywhere, mobile is dead, all trains stop, Narita airport is closed.

Thanks to Skype, I've just talked to one of my sisters in Tokyo. She is fine

BUT, even she is not sure about other members of my family
