It's developing into a major tragedy indeed. Economically, but first and foremost a human tragedy. Lots of casualties have been reported already. And rumours about a melt down and explosions in a nuclear plant, are really worrying also..
Fortunately Japan is well prepared, we equipped, well trained and well organized. I'm sure the Japanese will be able to deal with the catastrophe ultimately. But at what price....
