Nasty! Condolences to the Japanese and others on affected coastal
cities.

I had some questions about what I saw in some of those pics.

Can anyone explain them?

What caused the whirlpool in Oarai?

The surge of water hitting the shelf and underwater terrain. This causes
them a lot.


Why did the road in Satte split exactly on the yellow middle line?

The way most roads are laid up and paved leaves a main seam down the
center.


How were there no planes on the ground in Narita Int'l Airport?

Any time there is a quake/tremor they try to get anything on the ground
in the air because it's safer that way.
