So whereas we're down 1 state, they would be out of their entire country. Little bit of a difference.
In any case, I'm just tossing shit out here. I think its good that they're helping people that have been hurt.

Gotcha. I'm guessing Japan has been putting countless millions into research and development for tsusami detection and 'prevention', more reduction in damage that would be caused. I'd imagine the best kind of system would be huge channels that run through the island that all excessive water can pass right through... of course would cost billions but would save lives and the economy.
Blah. I wish the world worked together and cared about everyone elses' well-being pro-actively.
