PIKA-DON! and TSUNAMI!



NHK reporting second reactor exlplosion and ten foot tidal wave headed for Japan.

If you believe in praying, pray for the Japanese people.

PIKA-DON*

*Pika Don

Those who survived called the A-bomb "pika don". "Pika" referred to the flash of light, and "Don" was an onomatopoeic reference to the tremendous sound. Survivors close to the hypocenter, the point directly beneath the detonation, heard no sound, and called it merely "pika".
