The devestation in Japan is just mind-boggling. It's just unbelievable to think of.

I'm fine, btw. While we did, technically, have a tsunami where I live, it was just a minor wave surge. The beach area where I am wasn't affected. I think the nearby marina may have had more of an impact, but any damage (and I don't think there was any) would have been minor. There was, however, significant tsunami damage in places in northern California, specifically the marinas/harbors in Santa Cruz and Crescent City where, I believe, a lot of the boats were destroyed. But that's pretty far from where I am.

But my thoughts keep going to the people of Japan... My god...
