Holy fuck. This tsunami covered like, one fifth of the country. My heart goes out to the Japanese. This is worse than that tsunami back in 2004.

in terms of sheer damage caused, it's possible since japan is a more developed nation than those severely affected by the 2004 one. but i doubt anywhere near 230,000 people will die

It seems silly to me that we don't have the technology to determine when major earthquakes will happen years in advance

it seems silly to me we don't have the common sense to determine major risk areas for human settlement years in advance.

Radiation from the reactors will reach the US's west coast tomorrow.
