Tsunami safe

We got several calls and emails from people concerned about our safety. The Tsunami was supposed to hit Panama about 9pm last night, but the propagation models suggested only 6" of surge so we went out to dinner. There were no problems here.

But northern Japan looks devastated. At roughly 100x the amount of power that was in the 1989 Loma Prieta quake in California I can't imagine how much damage and movement occurred. One article I read said the island of Honshu moved 8' east. We wish them the best of luck in coping with the disaster.
