I have just spent 5minutes watching this disaster and amazed at the strength that nature produces. the whirl pools being created were magnificent and terrifying at the same time. It looked as if hundreds of cars, people etc were simply caught up in the strength of the tsunami .
I can only offer a prayer for all those involved and for anyone who has family either living in Japan or on holiday.

It is dreadful, I was watching tv and could not work out what the sludge was and then realsied it was houses, cars et. Horrendous all those cars going over the waterfall. They reckoned there were people trapped in cars.

Looks as if they have had 4 more M5 off the coast since the original M8 one, all in slightly different areas.

One hopes the Pacific island inhabitants have enough time to get clear of the Tsunami(s)
