Japanese Earthquake & Tsunami on going after shocks and Tsunami warnings.

First topic message reminder :

This is an actual report, and it a separate topic than the political topic in the "Politics" forum.

I've heard back from one of the members on my website who lives in Tokyo, Japan and he's reporting that Tokyo is doing fine. They didn't suffer any real damage. Apparently, the real damage from the Earthquake took place in Sendai. The deaths were a result of the tsunami that hit Japan as a result of the Earthquake and that the deaths were not caused by the Earthquake itself.

Do NOT post about the unemployment issue in this topic. There already exists a topic for that issue in the Politics forum.

Please only post your condolences, support and prayers for the Japanese people.

UPDATE: Rather than continuously updating the topic title, it has edited one last time to reflect everything involving the earthquake and tsunami.

Watching CNN - they just report a 6.5 earthquake has hit northern Japan - tsunami warning has been issued.

Leaked water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant showed the highest
radiation readings yet, compounding the risks for the hundreds of workers trying
to repair the facility’s cooling system. Seventeen workers have been exposed to
high levels of radiation, and airborne radioactivity in the unit 2 building
remained so high that a worker there would reach his yearly occupational
exposure limit in 15 minutes.

Those poor Japanese. Man, how much more can they take. Imagine devastation all around you for as far as the eye can see... and everyone either dead or missing. Unemployment is hell, but the Japanese coast is the magnification of it.

Tokyo (CNN) -- The containment structure surrounding one of the reactors at a quake-battered nuclear power plant is damaged and may be leaking radioactive material, the Japanese government's point man on the crisis said Monday.

Ugh.....

Saying a prayer for all working there and all who live there. I think they are trying to hide the real numbers and it's just getting worse by the day.
