1. Wow -- very powerful.

Except for the problems with the reactors, this destruction reminds me of Hurricane Katrina...with people left to fend for themselves.

2. Access has been cut of to so many places.

They're at least TRYING to get to people though and help them. I'm wondering when people are going to start having bottled water drives for Japan.
