    Aftershocks: 6.4, 6.8 and 7.1. Which can be devastating in their own rights. Wow.

    Dude, your on a narrow island. Wherever you are, I wouldn't be too smug about not feeling any effects.

    This will make no sense to people in 47 states, but the wave lines look like giant catfish farms.

    absolutely unbelievable live shots on Fox right now. This looks like a rolling wave of water, mud and debris pretty damn far inland.

    And now another huge wave slamming into shore.

    Hey CNN, calling this a Tokyo quake is like calling Katrina a Houston hurricane.

    Please choose your words carefully, CNN. Saying you're getting "flooded" with tweets isn't exactly the right thing to be saying with a tsunami on the screen.

    There's nothing quite like a natural disaster in the middle of the night to show us how inadequately prepared news stations are. You usually get some moron fill-in anchor that can't ad lib to save their life. The dope on CNN just said, "We have no estimate on casualties at this point." Umm, no fuckin shit. It just happened.
