Just so long as we don't get a movie about this as bad as Twister, I'll be fine...
Seriously, though, best wishes towards those in the far east affected. At least one of my friends and his wife in Japan are fine.

This.
I actually kinda liked Twister. Good disaster flick. Didn't pretend to be vying for an Oscar outside of the minor CGI awards.

Fears of a meltdown. Any nuclear physicists on here?

While I feel for the people that will get melted if it goes really badly, this is also my main concern, I admit.

Apparently my former roommate was giving a presentation in Tokyo on the 20th floor of a highrise, but they made it through and out OK. Everything's pretty much at a standstill in the city now though.

No, it means that in double the distance, the energy drops by a factor of four.

Unless the nuclear plants stayed on through the tsunami and setup a clean radioactive shield to protect the land around them, NIMBY's were going to point at this no matter what, especially with American media derp making usual procedures sound like Chernobyl Mk.2
Edit: National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology says the quake shifted the earth's axis by 10".

Well then, Christ, I don't know. Apparently I learned less in that class than I thought I did (which is saying something, considering everyone knew it was a joke of a class to begin with anyway).

I understand it's the Coast Guard's job to go after stupid people, but really? You know the tsunami's coming for about 12-18 hours, and you decide to head to the beach to take pictures instead of staying away? That's not a tragedy, that's Darwin at work.

It does sound like there has been some damage at selected locations on our west coast. Nothing like the devestation in Japan though.
Some of that film showing the water- oh, my gosh. Stunning how far inland, what it's going over, and what is being dragged along.
