It's a tsunami watch for BC at the moment, not even a warning at this point so who knows.

I just told my family in Richmond to come to UBC. No need to take chances.

My dad was supposed to go to Japan YESTERDAY!... but he postponed his flight to next Sunday cuz of some renovation delays we had to complete for Richmond Ebisu ... this is the first time that I'm actually grateful that our contracters and construction workers are behind schedule!

No need to cause unneeded panic. Just listen to the news and follow instructions provided by the government.

Watching the flooding is surreal.

Jegz 03-11-2011 12:05 AM

Wow hope everyone who has family or friends there are safe. If a magnitude of that hits richmond, we'd be done for.
