    Taking a peek at the wire (since I was up, I updated our website), the entire Pacific coast from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego is under a watch or a warning.

    The TV channel out here has the tsunami countdown rolling. Kind of macabre.

    Certainly I hope the people in Hawaii do everything they can to get to higher ground.

    They've got about 20 minutes, according to CNN. Then two more hours until it hits the West Coast.

    Just waking up, this is incredible.

    Turned on the radio first and then the TV. MSNBC -- Morning Joe - spent 30 seconds on it and now they're yucking it up with David Axelrod.

    Guys, sometimes you have to blow up your planned programming. This is one of them

    Reuters has a breaking news banner that a train is unaccounted for in a tsunami-hit area.

    Just watched a couple of videos on CNN. Unbelievable.

    And prayers to God, or whoever you want to, to our brothers and sisters in Japan, and everyone else in the tsunami's path.
