They are expecting a Tsunami of up to 10 feet high. Buildings were shaken in Tokyo, no word yet on damage. It was only 15 miles deep and 81 miles east of Honshu.

Recently, we've had significant quakes in Chile, Tonga, New Zealand, Indonesia, Japan. That just leaves the west coast of North and Central America... this bothers me.
Long story short, yes the moon may play a role but it's relatively small when compared with other factors.

That is some scary stuff.
she was probably worried that utilities and other services may have been affected and you were sitting in the dark. I checked in on my friends in Kyoto which hasn't been affected….
here in california they were clearing some of the coast and i just got a call from my step-mother asking whats going on with me purely because the freeways are getting impacted by people on the immediate coast trying to move cars to higher ground.
Back when we lived in Dallas, there was an explosion at a BP oil refinery outside Houston and she called then too to see if we were ok and did we hear/see the explosion. True story.

I just watched that video that was linked from the Guardian, oh my. That is so powerful. I can't even imagine how many people have died. There is one part in the video where it sweeps cars that were driving away. I thought the tsunami in Sumatra was horrible, this is right next to it.
