8.9 Earthquake has struck off the coast of Japan.

Quite a bit of damage, though they were saying on Al Jazeera earlier that the buildings there are designed with large earthquakes in mind and have coped reasonably well.

Hawaii and many of the pacific facing coasts have come under Tsunami Warning. The Sirens have just gone off for about 3 minutes here as an initial warning and they're just clearing the beaches. Anything that hits us is expected to arrive by 3am. We should be okay here, we're on the 3rd floor (UK counting style

), and we're far enough back from the beach that we shouldn't have any problems.
