OK...apparently reason why NWS webpage has Tsunami Watch as "White" (and still not displaying) is because they've never set-up their web pages to display them...only the Warning and Advisory.  ::shrug::

Literally the only area of the entire Pacific basin not in a warning is the US West Coast - and they're in the watch...that is I believe unprecedented (closest would be the Chile quake but still wasn't this widespread)

Wild that as far south as Antarctica is under a Tsunami Warning.

Thank God that people in other countries are able to "prepare" for this. Places like Hawaii have an approx. time in which to expect it.

Actually, Japan had a fairly quick warning for it...  just not nearly as much in advance as other locations.

On another note, they're still feeling aftershocks in Japan... pretty decent ones, too.

Okay. I absolutely HAVE to get some sleep.   Otherwise I'd be watching this all night and all day tomorrow.

Goodnight, and let's PRAY nothing too bad happens to anyone else out there...
