It is probably too early to know but what are the initial reports saying? (Location, damage, wounded, and killed)

Until now, it is reported that over 30 people died in that earthquake. The number is sure to rise they say.
Tsunami warning issued for at least 20 countries after quake

(CNN) -- The threat of a tsunami prompted the U.S. National Weather Service to issue a warning for at least 20 countries and numerous Pacific islands after an 8.9-magnitude earthquake struck Japan Friday.

The wide-ranging list includes Russia and Indonesia, Central American countries like Guatemala, El Salvador and Costa Rica and the U.S. state of Hawaii. The weather service's bulletin is intended "as advice to government agencies."

As do mine. Every country should get involved and help them out, and save as many people as possible from this devastating disaster.

Oh god, over 300 bodies have been discovered so far in the depths of the destruction. The waves and are just washing away the cars, the peopl and the buildings which it comes across. I feel terrible, I hope this stops.

:cry:

Mine too.
David emerges from the store slowly. He braces himself against a parked car and then keeps on walking in a nightmarish daze.

WE PULL BACK as David blends in with dozens and dozens of ordinary people, walking on an ordinary street, in an ordinary city.
