Let's hope that all our friends in Japan are safe and well. Fortunately, their buildings are designed to withstand powerful earthquakes, but damage from aftershocks and the tsunami will be considerable.
Update: Follow Joan Nelson's ongoing posts on the earthquake and tsunami here.
Update: I've decided to post some photos from Japan. The people are still in a state of shock, and the full scale of this catastrophe will be unveiled over the next few days.

I just finished watching tonight's Rachel Maddow Show online, which was almost entirely devoted to the Japan quake and tsunami. Also discussed is the ongoing crisis with two nuclear power facilities. I came away feeling slightly shocked, and very, very worried. My Midwestern stoicism fails me.
