I haven't found a finite video yet, but there's live coverage on youtube right now. Here's the channel.

"This is the sixth most powerful recorded earthquake in history. The other five were in areas no where near as populated as this."

60 reported dead, many more are missing.

Wow, pretty intense. Hope it doesn't get too bad for them.

[Cirt 612]

Erm according to CNN it was the 5th most powerful ever recorded

Also some northern city called Sendai got completely slammed with the following tsunami. Mudslides, flooding, fires, 300 dead, whole plates of earth just moving...

Dammit Swampert, I told you using Mud Slide right after Surf was a terrible idea.

[Chase 390]

I mean really my Swampert could have caused all this. Earthquake, Surf, Mud Slide, and Rain Dance would cover all of the bases.

[Chase 390]

Psh.

Swampert walks all over Whiscash.

[Arachne 25]

Wow, this is an even worse quake than the Great Kanto earthquake of 1923. Thankfully Japan's better prepared for this kind fo thing now. I hope not too many will be killed this time.

So I heard it puppyed up a power plant... Guess the radioactive shit is gonna turn Japan into a country of zombies.... NINJA ZOMBIES! (I feel like that's already a Japanese B horror flick)

Is Shigeru Miyamoto okay?

[Rika Code 29]

I hope Ryukishi07 isn't dead

Nor anyone close to him; I don't think he could handle loosing someone again

so yeah this is pretty much disgusting and horrible :/ Earthquakes are not signs of revenge.

My friend said "puppy Japan" for killing dolphins.... but also tweeted about how animal testing is awesome and he wants more chicken nuggets. (same tweet.

the power plants were not puppyed over, but they were in the area of the places that were damaged. They were all shut down for fear of radiation leaks, etc. But they're not destroyed.

At least, that's what I knew friday morning. That was yesterday.
