My best mate\'s brother is married to a japanese girl and has family there. Just heard from him and luckily they are all ok. Does look terrible on the news and when you hear them saying that the wave is going to hit other places at a certain time it does make it even more scary for the people there knowing its coming and there\'s nothing they can do

Our thoughts are with everyone and their families who are caught in this awful disaster and in the surrounding countries.

We have emailed Miguel (Newera Imports) this morning to see if he is OK and are awaiting a reply.

I also emailed Miguel and Russ Gander this morning but not heard anything as yet. I dare say there\'s a lot of problems with communication at the moment.

It\'s a terrible situation though and my thoughts are with everyone who\'s out there.

Pleased to report that Miguel has mailed me and his family, friends and Miguel himself are all O/K.:Thumbs-up

Sadly the world is going to be a very different place after this huge tragic disaster that is still unfolding with a terrible loss of lives

Every time i put Sky News on, it gets worse and worse! Talk of perhaps the death rate rising to 10,000 +.

I know there are quite a few on here with links in Japan, perhaps even family, thoughts are with you and all affected, i truly cant believe the destruction and horrific images i have seen.

captainbizzaro · March 13, 2011, 09:01:51 AM

I\'ve seen some footage and it\'s all been horrific, more like images from a film with the level of destruction being caused. So yeah, I too extend my thoughts to those effected.

EDIT

Just read that the figure of 10000 is for the Miyagi region alone, two nuclear power stations damaged and people exposed to radiation just awful.
