    Even a small tsunami could wipe out Singapore, seeing how it's so damn tiny.

    ALASKA - A tsunami warning was issued for the Aleutian Islands and an advisory for the rest of the southern coast.

    JAPAN - The day after the tsunami, two Game Freak employees were affected but not hurt, says Bulbanews. One (Midori Harada) was in (apparently) a Sendai department store that was untouched by the tsunami but no one was allowed to leave. The second (Ken Sugimori) was stuck at an Okinawa airport.

    Heard on the radio that it was a 9.1, it ripped a hole in the earth 150 miles long and 50 miles wide, there was another one, about 6.3? just a while ago, and hundreds are suspected to be dead.

    It's the fifth most powerful earthquake in history too.

    Also, there are some nuclear reactors that could have a meltdown like 3 Mile Island did.

    Of COURSE it's very appropriate. If the staff are dead, who's gonna continue milking the franchise?

    I don't think the black cat was swept away. The Maneki Neko must have protected it. There was a video about the Brazilian Floods showing a little dog getting swept away. :'(

    They shut down automatically if an earthquake over a certain magnitude occurs, so that shouldn't happen.

    Actually that nuclear electric reactor plant blew up 2-3 hours ago of over heating and the reactor next to it could be next. And the radiation level around it is already 30x the normal level. And our fellow romulation member, Coolkill3r (CK3); is among those who had to evacuate because his home was struck by the earthquack and tsunami. And according to my brother who lives there, since that large 8.9 earthquack, the tremors had not seized measuring as high as 6.6 to 7.4. In fact according to the experts there, there is possibilities that the quack epicentre is moving southward towards Tokyo bay.

    Its not going to sink, but it (Japan) moved 2.4 m from its original location, to the direction of Korea/China.
