    This is the most surreal footage I've seen yet.

    There are no words. Could you imagine if that were Portland?

    Wow. This event has reminded me how insignificant we really are, even though we don't believe it.

    Reminds me of the George Carlin quote: "The earth can shake us off like fleas"

    When I watched that video I thought of Seaside or Canon Beach. It's unlikely that Portland will ever see that kind of destruction. More likely the quake itself will bring down Portland, unless the water came up the Columbia. How far inland did the water go in Japan?

    Bummer it is no longer up. I wanted to show my wife the video and it said the station that owns the video stop it.
