thank you very much for weighing in and we ll check in with you again. thank you. sure, thank you. we are getting some incredible before and after images from japan. check out notori. this is a photo taken a year ago and then if you look at the picture taken yesterday, farmland is under water. the neighborhood you re looking at appears to be completely wiped out in the former picture. now, the new york times posted these satellite images, which were taken by geo eye. hey, did you ever finish last month s invoices? sadly, no.
of different epidemics coming. i think societies have learned how to better prevent those through inoculations, through treatments. i think what had he need is a system to help with power, with water, coordination, and giving relief to the people that have been on the ground since day one. we re in, what, 72, 96 hour time period. those people are going to start to get tired. judgment is going to start to go. they re going to need some relief because this is a marathon. this is a mega disaster, and they have not seen it since world war ii, but it s a lot different since world war ii. i think you re going to start to see foreign governments also worry about what do they do for their national citizens? some are going to want to come home. there s a whole lot of issues they have to address. yeah. very true. robert jensen, thank you very much for weighing in. we appreciate it. we re going take you back to japan for a law report on the latest concerns about not one, but two potential nuc
around the airport. this is the parking lot of the sendai flying school, now amid the wrecked cars sits this training aircraft, dumped here by the wave, swept from the hangars over the back there. soldiers and rescue workers scoured the area from the ground and in the air. the authorities say they found 300 bodies in just one area close to here. we found desperate relatives searching for missing family members. this couple looking for a sister. while others struggled to navigate around the neighborhood brutally reshaped by the force of nature. the ground s fallen by two feet up there, this man warned. you can t go that way. there s no power, no water, and what few shops remain open are being swamped. this couple s searching for milk and diapers for their 1-year-old daughter. i saw the tsunami coming, her mother told me. i grabbed my baby and fled.
here with me with more on this. good morning. it is a mess out there. did you see little falls, new jersey, earlier? it certainly is a mess. all of that water. the good news, alex, we will not be adding any more water to that. at least as far as the rain is concerned. take a look at the stormtracker here, and you ll see that we do have a few showers around new england. mainly snowshowers in upstate new york. otherwise, that is about it. here s a look at the forecast for the northeast. actually, these are your temperatures. we see readings in the 40s and lower 50s. that s good right now. we re going warm up from this. take a look at the northern plains. it is cold. temperatures will stay below freezing throughout much of the day, and as we make our way into the day, the northeast, lower to mid and even upper 50s so we re going to be dry. that s the good news. rivers will slowly recede. in the south gorgeous day throughout many locations around the gulf coast states. a few clouds passi
see how devastating the effects of mother nature are. it s just extraordinary to watch. you know, it reminds us in many ways of some of the scenes that we saw after hurricane katrina, when new orleans was swamped by water from the hurricane in the gulf. hadn t heard that analogy, but i absolutely understand why you make it. when it comes to predicting an earthquake, how accurate can scientists be on either location or magnitude? well, we know that there are a number of different faults in a number of different locations and that some of the faults are capable in their extreme of, let s say an upper-bound magnitude. so, the subduction zone off the coast of japan is capable of a very high magnitude earthquake, and in the extreme, it would be capable of something on the order of what we experienced or what was experienced by the japanese at a magnitude of about 9. but this is typically a very rare event. you don t have that kind of
