We have all been amazed and stunned by the television pictures we have been receiving from Japan today. Our hearts go out to all the people of that area.
Having seen something of the changing personalities of the seas ourselves..we are non the less shocked at this happening.

Being in a closer time zone we watched it happen live here in Oz. It is without doubt one of the most amazing incidents I have ever witnessed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those poor souls in Japan.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Watching the Indonesian tsunami was bad enough but at least people survived by swimming clear or holiding onto stationary objects.There would appear no possibility of surviving that wall of debris carried along by the wave in Japan.Most of us know that coast well which it makes all the more real.Tokyo isolated for heavens sake.
