I just happened to catch this on the news this morning and saw live footage of the water rushing in some place, and there was footage of debris floating on the water one fire. There was a highway with people driving away oblivious to the water coming up behind them. The craziest thing I saw was a 4-5 foot split down the middle of a road. It literally was a straight split right down the middle of the painted center line. There were also reports of several nuclear plants going into auto shut down, a fire at one and another declaring an emergency and ordering people nearby to evacuate. The last thing I heard before I had to cut it off was that a bullet train was missing. I haven't heard what happened to it. Man this is some freaky scary shit.
