The Northridge quake here in 1994 was 6.7 and there was damage 85 miles way...and I CANNOT even fathom what is happening in Japan. It's like watching a horror movie. :( The lives, livelihoods, lost. OMG.

California is on Tsunami watch...no warning though, but that's how far stuff like this reaches.

Other U.S. areas included in the warning are the territories of Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and Wake Island...also they have raised the magnitude up to 8.9.

And I agree with you....things are so crazy right now. Look at all the crippling snowstorms this year, and the places that saw snow that hardly ever do. Not to mention droughts, intense hurricanes, and just general screwed up weather pretty much everywhere anymore. Mother Nature is NOT a happy camper right now apparently...

NOAA just said that there is major water heading to Hawaii! YIKES! :(

This "Ring of Fire" is a bad, bad, thing.

ETA: California Tsunami Advisory is expected. Just means to stay off the beaches and out of the harbors.

Oh God. All I can keep thinking of is my friend Kate who is in Japan. I really am praying that she's safe. :(

Also, what if that whole 2012 thing is real. I mean, everything seems so crazy here lately. They also been thinking there's gonna be an earthquake on the New Madrid fault soon too and that's where I'm at. I'm screwed.

The entire coast of British Columbia is also under a tsunami warning. I just saw a live shot from San Fransisco and there was a man playing in the water with his dog!! :o Are these people nuts? Sure there may not be extensive damage, but the waves will be so unpredictable... someone being that reckless could easily get swept out to sea.

The pictures from Japan are absolutely horrifying. My thoughts are with everyone effected by this disaster.

I just saw where two guys in Oregon got swept off the rocks. Idiots.

There's damage in two California cities. Crescent City and Santa Cruz. Incredible isn't it? That there can be damage THIS far.

I haven't heard about Hawaii. I know they had 5-6ft waves. Was their any damage there?

It's horrible but it is something to behold. No matter what man builds, mother nature retains her right to tear it down.

    •   One of the best and most long-awaited takedowns ever. Finally, after 10 years,  Kim couldn't slither out of accountability. And it unified Nene and Kenya which was amazing in of itself
    • Thanks @slick jones That's certainly a rare, unique promo. The art is...questionable (Sandy and Lisa are identical twins), but such a great document for a lost era anyway.
    • That was my original impression, too. Aside from how long it took for anything concrete about Jordan's past to come out -- remember we had that whole interlude with her old roommate, Sheryl, too? -- the part that never worked for me was how Kate Roberts, who had gone through something so similar with Curtis, not only dated Clyde but took his side over Jordan. I know Jordan encroached on Kate's territory by getting with Rafe, but it made Kate seem both heartless and stupid to side with a man who had done to Jordan exactly what Curtis had done to Billie. One good thing Ron has done is address that dangling thread by having Kate own how awful it was of her.
    • IF ONLY Bravo could have filmed Jill tiptoing to Ramona's door with a doctor's stethoscope to listen in on Ramona's many dates.   Please also note that everything has been moved out of the apartment in that shot -- except for a prominently-arranged Zarin Fabrics Rug (c). Hustle hustle! Seriously, this should have had Peacock's careful touch, and I'm lowkey aggrieved that Jill made it an 'all or nothing' situation.

       Maybe, after the success of RHOM and RHUGT 3, it will be back on the negotiating table next year.
