Kelpie 2nd Gear March 12, 2011 Share March 12, 2011 One Honda worker died and think 5 injured. Toyota shutdown 2 assembly plants and Nissan shutdown 5. It was said that Hard-hit Miyagi Prefecture is the source of only 1.7 percent of Japan's gross domestic product, and damage to industrial and commercial facilities in the area appeared to be limited.

Maxus-MIFA9 Supersonic March 12, 2011 Share March 12, 2011 (edited) Latest from CNA : Tsunami hits US West Coast LOS ANGELES: Tsunami waves from Japan's huge quake sparked mass evacuations on Hawaii and the US West Coast Friday, damaged boats and left one man missing after racing thousands of miles across the Pacific. Surges of eight feet (2.4 meters) high crashed ashore on the coasts of California and Oregon, up to 12 hours after the 8.9-magnitude quake triggered tsunami alerts in dozens of countries across the Pacific. "We have at least 35 boats that have been crushed. We have boats on top of other boats," said Cindy Henderson, emergency services manager in Crescent City, 350 miles north of San Francisco. Crescent City -- some 7,000 miles (11,265 kilometres) away from Japan -- is in Del Norte county, one of five California counties ordered to evacuate coastal areas as the scale of the tsunami became clear overnight. The US Coast Guard added there had also been damage to about six boats in a marina in Santa Cruz, further south, after they collided with each other due to the buffeting tsunami waves.
