Well I guess either could just open up and swallow you at any time.
This is scary awesome awful and I know it's not exactly unprecidented for Japan (I keep thinking about the stylised depiction of a tsunami wave artwork) but it's still a shock that it happens. I can't imagine standing in the path of that wall of water and yet I do. You feel for thier helplessness in the face of it.

God bless their souls. Poor people.

Technically speaking, for a country which lies on intersection of three different tectonic plates which didn't have a major earthquake for eighty years they're getting pretty damn lucky.

Oh shit the reactor exploded and the heart is leaking outside(??). This is Tsernobyl stuff right here. All the 13 coolant water generators were destroyed by the tsunami, which caused the heat that fucked everything up. This is from my news sources, which are annoyingly inaccurate. Lets hope they're wrong.
This is not good, especially for a country this small. It's going to affect a huge proportion of their land.
edit:
Yokoso News - Daiichi power plant's core spared from the explosion. Apparently the hydrogen exploded between the protective layers and didn't cause too much harm to the core itself.

God's a dick. "You thought that earthquake was pretty bed eh? Well check this shit out TSUNAMI!!!! Still not impressed? How about some nuclear meltdown ey?"
I have a whole bunch of friends in Japan so this is quite a bit worrying.

All of my friends are okay. They're pretty much all in Tokyo or Osaka though.
Some trapped in airports, trains, and elevators.
Everybody was updating on Facebook as it was going on.
One friend said his elevator stopped mid-way. They opened the door and were running down the stairs of his building while masonry and bits of ceiling and wall were dropping around him, like out of a movie. Then he went to a bar just to celebrate being alive. (This is where I put a joke about him being Irish, but honestly I'd do the same.) Then a 2 hour walk to get home.
Another friend had a very scared hamster thrown from his cage and cut his finger on a blender! (Whereupon my Irish friend said "As you do.")
My Japanese friend had her in-coming flight from KL delayed, then was trapped for a few hours at the airport in Tokyo until the trains started running. She had one family member around Sendai that last I heard (last night for me) they haven't heard from yet!
Dramatic day.
Edit: Probably the worst part psychologically they said, at least for those in Tokyo, were the aftershocks, about one every 15-20 minutes for a long time, even now a day later they're still going on, many of them big earthquakes in their own right, not enough to damage stuff but keep you nauseous and uneasy. My Irish friend said they shouldn't call them aftershocks but should have called the original quake a preshock.
