I hope you and your families are safe and well in this time of disaster and tragedy. My heart goes out to you all and I hope that everyone is able to be safe.

Ditto that of course.  Absolutely devastating scenes in Japan.

I am sitting here in Indonesia on Tsunami alert. I think the chance is small but still a full scale alert in place. We will not know for another hour or two....

As an aside, we had a shaker last night which made me jump out of bed. It was just in the sea to the north of Bali - 6.5 on the Richter Scale.

Thanks Ben and everybody.  We only had a small half-meter surge in Okinawa but those videos coming out of Sendai were awful.  I can only hope that Japan's excellent infrastructure and warning system kept the lost lives to a minimum.

It's gut wrenching stuff guys.......

I chased up Eddie Kazama (of the video 'Five Days at Fraser' fame) and he's OK, along with his family.

Many are not so lucky  :(

No matter what we build, horde, own or cherish, we are born with nothing and it seems, mother nature wants us to leave with nothing...........here's hoping for any good news.
