man, this is horrible!

It is..... *and the West Coast and Hawaii took a pretty good hit,
too.....

Many lives were lost in Japan, but they didn't have the luxury of
being forewarned.

I hope Chernobyl and Fukushima don't become synonyms.....

Yeah, Gene.

i dont' have a radio or a tv at the shop and I didn't even know about
it until I got home. i wonder how bad Hawaii got messed up? all
Islands? And i'll be looking for the damages on the west coast.

Looks like some significant damage in Hawaii, but someone was swept
away in Santa Cruz and died. I heard $15M damage in SC.. something
like that.

I guess maybe we should continue to fund tsunami warning systems,
which is one of the things the Republicans want to eliminate in their
budget.

It's the thinning of the herd. The folks who were swept away in the US
were down there to take frekin' pictures, they had plenty of warning
without another govt boondoggle. As far as "the thinning of the herd",
like Wiggy says, "Truly stupid people will find ways to kill themselves
no matter what you do to try to protect them from themselves"... Those
folks who went down to take pictures and tied up the Coast Guard should
have to pay for the rescue and be charged complicit in the death of
their friend... Dumb asses...
