8.8 Quake hits Japan... tsunami warnings issued

I'm just horrified by the images being shown, and now they are admitting that a meltdown may be imminent at one of the five reactors they are concerned about. I knew when I saw the numbers last night (8.9) that it was going to be far more catastrophic than the initial reports were indicating. Did anyone see that hellacious whirlpool?

On another note, it seems Japan has moved, as has the Earth's axis: http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/as...rth/index.html

No bueno! Besides being completely horrible for Japan how will it impact the rest of the planet? It has to, I just have no idea how.

My friend was in Tokyo and Kyoto the past couple weeks. No one has heard from him. Really hope he's home and being a flake.
