No significant damage in the US. Worries about the nuclear plants in Japan, they are going to release some radiation because pressure is building and their cooling systems are not working. ---

fuck! i think death count will be in the hundreds or thousands. it will be hard to say, how many bodies have been washed out or are still in buildings that are floating? i think japan is much more educated on tsunamis and earth quakes then say Thailand, plus they had warnings. i dunno next year when you see freshly imported JDM vehicles going for insanely cheap, start looking for water damage… ---

> [@cougarspeed](#): > > Sad, hopefully the relief efforts are adequate and it turns out not as bad as it looks. This brings up a question. Do you think the big news stations should be showing more raw video like what I posted, or continue with their watered down stuff where any time the wave gets close to a house or cars they pan away? I realize those cars and houses probably have people in them but I think showing what’s really happening helps motivate the relief effort more than making the world think these waves are just gently rolling over farmland. ---

I think news should be shown as news is. With material being previewed and proper warning preceding. ---

I think the internet is really desensitizing people to everything. Hopefully in the future we see less censorship and more true-life stuff. ---

We got so many cars from Nawlins what with a different branding system. We’ll def. see jap flood cars next year as a result of this. ---
