Oh my...It has reached some of the islands around Hawaii now, just listened to a guy on the shore in Wailuku, as he was talking he said the sea receded around 200ft.
1349: Ryan McGuinness on the Hawaiian island of Maui tells CNN that he is standing about 10ft away from the shore. He says there have been surges, during which the sea has advanced about 20ft further inland than normal. But now, he says, the sea level has receded about 200ft, exposing reefs and rocks which are normally always covered. People are calm, he adds, but they are now moving to higher ground.
Oh dear...makes one think what chance does man and all his technology stand in front of the forces of nature.

Police in Miyagi Prefecture say between 200-300 bodies have been found in the coastal city of Sendai alone, Japan's Kyodo News Agency reported late Friday. The death toll is likely to rise as there are few casualty counts yet from the worst-hit areas. Kyodo, citing Japan's defense forces, said 60,000 to 70,000 people were being evacuated to shelters in the Sendai area.
yes the tsunami has killed more people than the quake - it has wiped towns off the map, the just don't exist any more.Posted on CNN just a short time ago -
There's also something about having to evacuate a nuclear power plant.
