www.kgw.com... birds eye view of Oregon coast

bbc news reporting the wave has hit oregon but 45mins ago?
any news on that any one over there?

reply to post by GezinhoKiko


So far so good from Oregon, there are waves hitting Cannon Beach but nothing above Normal Tides so far. Early reports from Alaska say a small wave hit Dutch Harbor which is a some what significant fishing area. Still trying to find more information on that. Popular from Deadliest Catch actually.

From Twitter:

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says the US Air Force in Japan has transported coolant to the plant.

Personally, the potential of this really bothers me. If I could wiggle my nose and fix it, I would, but I can't even wiggle my nose.

Some additional pics (from Japan) on CNN.com




CNN just now said-Obama is preparing for a press conference within the next hour.

I'm sure they will be fine but, it does worry me that they live so close to the shore...less than a mile I would guess. Well, I suppose I'm just going to cross my fingers and hold my breath until this passes.

I really probably need to just step away from the computer but, I don't see that happening for awhile.

is he brave or just not informed?

200 - 300 bodies founds in the port city off Sendia. The death toll from this earthquake is going to be as shocking as the tsunammi which hit on boxing day that is for sure.

In other developments:

A passenger train was missing in one coastal area, and a ship carrying 100 people was swept away, police have told Japanese media

Fire is engulfing swathes of coastland, including homes and buildings, at Kesennuma city in Miyagi prefecture
A large fire erupted at the Cosmo oil refinery in Ichihara city in Chiba prefecture, with 100-ft (30m) flames roaring into the sky

There were reports of about 20 people injured in Tokyo after the roof of a hall collapsed on to a graduation ceremony

BBC NEWS

I wish I could push a button on my computer and talk to these fools I see on the live feed from CA. I'd be like "HEY!! Run dumb@$$... Or at least walk far enough away at a normal pace!"
