The aftershocks over there have been so numerous and large too. Some of the aftershocks are big enough to be damaging earthquakes in and of themselves. I even heard today that after thee 7.2 aftershock they had today that they reissued Tsunami warnings for a while.
Very sad about the radiation leaks too and the partial melt down of one of the reactor cores in the nuclear power plants.
Yes, the whole thing is quite horrific! I did read on a friends blog that Japan is quite Earthquake prepared...So now the main concern is cooling those damn nuclear plants. And thank goodness so far the US has been spared major damage. It really is quite amazing video out there...of course I get it via internet only now. More on that in a later post.
