In reply to the discussion: "Please, do NOT pray for Japan.." [View all]AsahinaKimi
(20,776 posts)75. That is awesome.
Ya' know, I remember waiting up till like 4am in the morning watching a live cam out of Hawaii facing an area which they thought the wave would come ashore, coming from Japan. I think many people dodged a bullet that it had not been as bad as it had. On the other hand, there was one place in the Bay Area, (And I forget where..) where someone had been killed going down to watch the Tsunami come in. The wave wrecked a bunch of sailing boats and there had been some film on it..
When I heard it was coming to the San Francisco I was really scared. I spent that morning on the phone with my mom.. for about an hour till after it passed.

It turns out that, ultimately, the tsunami was irrelevant to the meltdown.

Thanks, I am so sick of people thinking that prayer makes any real difference.
