Find higher ground and don't turn your back to the ocean, Brother.

However, a tsunami throwing around cars, buses, trains and people in Japan ain't got jack-shit on Godzilla !!! :shock:

Godzilla uses tsunami's for mouth wash !

Well, Japan got hit pretty hard with a tsunami, so watch the water Brother !

Its not good, but I always shake my head whenever I see people on news complaining and whining about floods and thier homes being destroyed when they live 17 feet away from a river or ocean. :shock:

Obviously someone put a gun to these poor people's head and MADE THEM live there....... :roll:

If it's still strong it should be hitting soon.

I got a message from my brother who was walking a beach south of Tokyo when all these sirens started going off. Some dude runs up jabbering some thing and after a few minutes my brother figures out the guy is telling to get the fuck off the beach or you will die! :lol:

He is fine and texting me from a bar!
