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.

See my reply to Rich, look at the referenced pic, and tell me if you
still have that answer. :/
