Map of Wave Amplitude - Tsunami of 3-11-11

Dropped some plans for today to focus on 8.9 magnitude earthquake that struck around 1 am our time off the coast of Japan. Devastating tsunami was generated, 1000s killed, and a number of Japan’s nuclear power plants in trouble. (video footage). Amazing before and after photos (hover over photos).
