Didn't the tsunami hit the Americas a few days ago? It barely did any damage.

The nuclear plant has me confused. How hard can it be to cool those reactors? All they need is a) water, b) electricity and c) rerouting of those two.
But I assume they're doing their best there.

In the beginning they were talking about how a couple of hundred people died. I found it hard believe it was so low... Sendai had a million inhabitants! Where did they all go? I figured there had to be thousands of deaths. And indeed now they are talking about more than 10.000.
