Hundreds dead after quake, tsunami slam Japan

8.9-magnitude earthquake off northeast coast is fifth largest since 1900 worldwide

The USGS boosted the magnitude to 9.1.

That's some scary stuff. The videos coming out are astounding.

If the Los Angeles Basin had been hit by a tsunami of the same magnitude and power Santa Monica to Beverly Hills, Culver City, and Inglewood would have been destroyed or swamped.
