nothing here in Vancouver, but got word from my cousin in Japan that him and his family in a small port town are okay. Apparently they had a "tsunami" the height of 90cm.

So far 5 "Looky-loos" have been washed out to sea from the West Coast.
Gotta get up close and personal with the tsunami surge, cuz everyone knows the media is just over-reacting and the government is lying and hey, we all know we see waves bigger than 2 feet all the time, so this tsunami warning stuff means nothing and besides we're 8,000 miles from Japan and let's get a six-pack and go to the beach!
4 people were rescued. The body of the 5th has not been found.
C'mon, kids. Keep your buns off the beaches today.

It feels very bizarre that someone read one of my blogs from Kobe, Japan about 12 hrs. ago. I realize they're far away...but one cannot help how they are touched personally in terms of people who they know who might be hurt or dead.
