8.9

Obviously, the big news this morning is the monstrous earthquake that hit just offshore of eastern Japan this morning. There have been more than twenty aftershocks, many of which were 6.0 or above, each of which would be bad enough. Tsunamis have killed dozens; there are warnings for Hawaii and the Left Coast. There are videos, but they are disturbing.

Anybody on the FList who's in an affected area, please sound off so we know you're okay.

ETA: Here's a specialized hit of Google Person Finder.

72 Hours

The City of San Francisco has a remarkable site, 72 Hours, to help you create an emergency kit and deal with many different situations. You can actually print the whole site as a PDF.

Any other good preparedness sites we should know about?
