Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Earthquake and Tsunami victims in Japan and Asia. Such a terrible tragedy. Our prayers also that the Tsunami misses the U.S. West Coast.

Al,

Watched the video this morning, hell on Earth, can't imagine what they are going through.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all who are suffering from that devastating 8.9 quake, the biggest in Japan's history. Having experinced first hand the frightening 7.4 one that hit here in 1989, I can't imagine what a 8.9 one would be like endure.

Here on the US West Coast (San Francisco Bay Area, we've received an official warning that a small tsunami wave is due to hit our shore in about 1/2 hour.

Scott take youir T4 and head to high ground asap!!! Be Safe.

Our prayers for everyone involved in this ... what tragedy ...

I watched this live last night in horror. My prayers go out to all over there.

BTW, I could not believe the glibness of the CNN female announcer as we watched live footage of fleeing cars being swept away. What kind of people ARE they in cable news? Whatever happened to "oh, the humanity!"?

I was disgusted.

Very very sad and a major major tragedy. I also agree that compassion is definitely absent in a lot of the reporting we are seeing.

I can't imagine the pain of the Japanese right now................puts life in perspective. I agree the media are more concerned about ratings than they are with humanity.

The Don Henley song Dirty Laundry says it all, I guess. My thoughts and prayers go to the Japanese people in this horrendous situation.

The Sendai quake was the biggest on record for that region and the fifth largest ever in recorded history. What a mindboggling disaster of epic proportion and has been stated by experts as being hundreds of times more devastating than the recent Haiti earthquake, as far as property damage and sheer destruction are concerned.

Yamaha and Roland Japan are located about 350 miles to the southwest and have probably been left pretty much unscathed from this disaster, albeit, I have no way to determine that for certain unless someone from Roland or Yamaha were to chime in. Fat chance most likely. On the other hand, Korg is located in Toyko which is only 150 miles from the epicenter and they may have been severely affected by this quake. Again, no way of knowing for sure unless a representative from Korg were to chime in.

If you'd like to help out financially you can do so through the American Red Cross or some other reputable charity. Here's the American Red Cross website: American Red Cross

All the best,
