Default Mother Nature wins everytime!

Mother Nature has no equal. You can do what u want, it may help or minimize, but that's it. Everyone has probably seen a vid or 2 of the destruction, but this is just amazing. And scary.

I feel sorry for those poor souls & I'm glad I live here. Well, at least, nowhere near that.

Watch the cars get swept into what turns into a destructive river of cars.

Yah man she is pissed off for sure.. I was reading somewhere that there is a a huge fault line in the mid west, it is possible that a quake of this size could cause it to move.. If that is the case the midwest could be shook with a huge quake also.. Lets hope not, our eco is already so fubar'd we do not need a something like that here.. def feel bad for the poor souls over there.. Not to mention all the jazz with the nuclear reactors and meltdown, now they are struck with radiation to.. Supposedly they lost 9' of shore line, the quake shifted the earth 10 cm on its axes

Ya, at 1st they said the nuke reactors were just in a shutdown mode over an electrical problem. Really? At a place that makes electricity?

I knew that was too fishy.

Earlier today, they started tellin the truth - that the reactor(s) were leakin.
They need to stop w/. pride & start saving lives. Or at least minimize radiation & people's welfare.

I know this is across the world, but I've never seen anything like this, nor have most. Not on this level.

Back home, I know we have quakes in CA, scorching hot in TX & elsewhere in season;
wildfires, tornadoes & so on.

Heck, even our beloved boys in NJ flooding. I called Billy twice & sent him a visitor message. This is just a bad deal all around.

Tom, it's a guy named James MacWhyte that filmed the video. He's from Seattle, but currently residing in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan. He's a professional videographer. The vid is filmed in hi-def, and is crazy to watch. At the start, it's just a little water, then it progresses. In just over 6 minutes, it goes from a trickle of water in the street, to cars being washed away, to buildings being washed away and people running for higher ground. At the beginning of the vid, you will see a white minivan driving, trying to stay ahead of the wall of water coming at him. Very scary stuff.

I can't find any other links to the video, sorry. Get a FB page already!!
