I was shocked to see the news report of massive earthquake measure 8.9 in Japan this morning. The earthquake hit Sendai couple hours ago. Luckily my friend manage to fly out of Tokyo couple of hour before earthquake strike. Tsunami triggered is up to 10m to Japan coast.

I’m now on business trip to California this week. Woke up at 3am due to jet lag. I’m expected to leave San Francisco tonight. Did not expect to see the disturbing news as tsunami warning issue to all pacific rim. Although at the other end of pacific the tsunami are expected to hit North America is the early morning.

I can’t really back to sleep, start packed my luggage and tune to weather channel and monitor the situation. Below is the extract of Tsunami Alert and expected arrival time and magnitude of the wave to California.
