Okay, now that I'm over my initial shock of my TV being interrupted for "OH GOD TSUNAMI WATCH OUT" I did some research and I'm not sure if we're in any actual danger. Plus, I sometimes forget that I'm no longer living a mile from the ocean. I'm probably safe.
Still worried about my parents though. News says there's mandatory evacuations in Hawaii and my parents aren't answering their phones, but it is 11 PM there so they may be asleep.

Likewise, to everyone in affected areas, stay safe. You're in my prayers.

It is being reported that the earthquake at its epicenter is 1000 times stronger then the one that occured in New Zealand last month. A thousand. I....I....I'm speechless..... That....that's in-f***ing-sane. Does that mean that this....was/is a f***ing mega-quake?! Did we just witness an honest f***ing mega-quake happen?

The epicenter was deeper down than the one that affected Christchurch so that would have taken off a bit of the sting on the surface. But still, that kind of tremor is unfathomable.

I have an internet friend who was teaching in Sendai so I'm very concerned right now. This is awful.

...And my parents are in Hawaii. f***. Brb frantically calling my mommy and daddy D: Dear god. My heart goes out to you, and your family. As well to all other Crappers on the California coast, Hawai'i, New Zealand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and any other country in the danger zone. Oh my GOD. Stay safe, Citten, and any and all other 'Crappers out there in the danger zones! I wonder if they'll sound the Tsunami alarms at the Oregon coast, do you think, Koda?

The amazing thing is, according to reporters in Japan, at least in Tokyo, people are calm, they aren't panicking. That's....that's freaky to be honest. It says a lot about how often earthquakes hit Japan.

If I just heard CNN right they said a warning is in effect for the entire West Coast of the States.

Still no answer from my parents. I've been calling nonstop for the past several minutes. The entire state of Hawaii is under warning but as far as I can tell only one island has had sirens go off, although I'm not sure which one my parents are on right now.
I'm too busy worrying about mom and dad to worry about my own safety but I'm almost positive that I'm not in any danger.

It says a lot about how often earthquakes hit Japan. I know, right? That....THAT is stoicism. I pray that everyone there battens down and prepares for round two, and that wave that's coming. Please God...let them get out of there!
