    Its amazing though. 20 years ago Hawaii would have gotten just a couple minutes warning. Today however we've been talking about this many hours ahead of the event. On a website running on the other side of the world no less.

    I hope so too - but if so, I hope it doesn't lead to a "cry wolf" attitude. Tsunamis are (thankfully) too rare to make predicting their effects an exact science ...

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Tsunami alert cancelled for Hawaii but Japan on "Major" alert. Expecting 10ft tsunami to hit them at 04.00 GMT.

    10 foot shouldn't be too bad for Japan should it? Just hope the Pacific Islands are in the clear, doesn't bear thinking about what a big Tsunami would do to some of them.

    Not in same league as 2004 but could still do plenty of damage.

    I suppose; but that is something your probably used too Magic even after a night out on the the club scene. All I can say is work hard and save some money and you might get lucky.

    And our own country complains about snow and rain.

    christ what these people have go through now, Its not something that will go away in few days or weeks it will take few years at least.

    As a country Ireland gets away with so much compared to these poor people, Thankfully.

    Interesting, when did the earthquake hit?

    Just before the buildings started to crumble.
