Also the saturation of the farmland with salt water will prevent the growing of crops for a very long time, or so I am told. No farming, no community, so the area ,may become a unhabitited zone.

wow. never thought of that.

I think that by the time this is over, the death toll will be very high.

Unbelievable devastation. Some of those villages are just gone.

Some of the land mass is gone too.

I was wondering about this and how long it would take for the salts to reduce to acceptable levels for crops again.

I really doubt that is true. A one time short term inundation, won't last forever. It may kill some stuff at first but there won't be that much salt left behind.

It's amazing....now they are saying the death toll may exceed 10,000 people in Myagi Prefecture alone....

I still can't get past the video of the tsunami as it approached the roadways...the cars and trucks just stopped....one can only imagine the horror of seeing all that shit comming to envelop you...and knowing you are going to die in just moments. Just....damn...

The before and after Google Earth pics of Gilchrist, Texas are like that, except there were only one or two homes standing in Gilchrist out of the thousand or so that had been there.
