Its hitting in smaller waves. But there is definitely a lot of water coming in. And a nuclear cooling pool has broken with over 200 rods.

I have been watching it live. And I can see water coming in and going out. But its nothing like last time. I think this is real. But its much smaller.

I don’t understand what is wrong at the nuclear plant. I can’t believe the water has done this. Maybe it was the quake itself. I see no damage anywhere. Just very large rip tides going in and out. The beeches and other shore lines are empty. There are sirens going off. And the news is telling everyone to go away from the water and go high. I am pretty sure everyone is taking it seriously after last time.

We should name newly discovered faults Trump’s, or Bush’s, or Obama’s, or white mans, or ....

Thanks for the great idea.

We don’t want to comprehend how this can happen again. We must know the tremendous work X1000 to safeguard and rebuild. I cannot tell the grief here, now. There is an abiding respect for Japan. This tsunami would be very cruel in winter.
Japan is.
