Really, bluejellybean VAncovuer Island is quite vulnerable compared to City of vancouver or Seattle.
When I was vacationing near your side of Vancouver Island I stayed at a lovely bed 'n breakfast in Qualicum Beach --about 12 years ago. The guy was a retired provincial govn't bureaucrat in emergency planning.
He had his kit in the car and by his bed.

For reasons I can't fully explain, I felt really sad watching the aerial plane photos of the tsunami sweeping across...I can't imagine the terror and horror.
It was on CNN from a Japanese broadcasting statioin that aired it in silence with Japanese slow, mournful music...like a temple-like dirge.
It was probably the most effective footage. No dialogue was necessary.
This is just sustainable blog in Tokyo that I occasionally follow. Doesn't say much...which how much can one say when there is devastation not so far away. http://tokyogreenspace.com/Last edited by shootingstar; 03-11-2011 at 08:22 PM.

My Dad was able to get on a flight out of Osaka this afternoon. I'm glad this didn't end up in him being stranded for multiple days!
Still can't wrap my mind around the devastation in the quake zone. It's a bit surreal.2014 Bobbin Bramble / Brooks B67

It's just not a good sign when there have been several major earthquake disasters in past few years....Indonesia, NZ (just recently), Chile..
For the tsunami in Indonesia 1-2 yrs. ago, I was in touch with someone in Honolulu. She told me that in the evacuation, the traffic congestion..was alot. They went to high ground. The mood was abit ...even festive. Guess that's a coping mechanism.Last edited by shootingstar; 03-11-2011 at 08:43 PM.
