ABS-CBN's Program - eLive

I was browsing tweets on my account yesterday and the tweet from  http://twitter.com/eliveofficial. 

The Announcement

That those who want to watch live at the studio just email your name, contact number and name of your guests.

Just to make fun of it, I hurriedly open my email account and email the information to the email address provided.

Then brush my teeth and go to bed without expecting any email confirmation from eLive coordinator.  

Then early morning, I opened my email account and noticed that I have an email from the eLive coordinator and gave us the confirmation to become a studio audience.  I hurriedly asked my husband if he wants to come with me in ABS. He agreed naman hehehe..maka experience man lng daw.

Tsunami Swamps Japan after a 8.9 Magnitude Earthquake

We usually shoutout "TGIF: Thank God It's Friday!!!!...." but this friday 03/11/11, was not a good Friday for Japan. A 8.9magnitude earthquake hits northern part of Japan at 3PM, then resulting to a devastating tsunami.

PHIVOLCS raised tsunami alert to provinces surronding the Pacific Ocean.

Excerpt news from ABC Australia...

Large areas of Japan's northern Pacific coast have been swamped by a devastating tsunami, engulfing entire towns following a major 8.9 offshore quake.

The massive wave of water, as high as 10 metres in some parts, reached more than five kilometres inland.
The meteorological agency issued its top-level evacuation alerts for the entire Japanese coast amid warnings of a tsunami of between six and 10 metres.
Towns and farms around Sendai city in northern Japan have been engulfed by a seven-metre tsunami, while a four-metre wave swamped parts of Kamaishi on the Pacific coast.
Residents have been ordered to high ground and stay away from the coast as tsunamis can strike in several waves.
Seismologists say the quake was 160 times more powerful than the one that devastated Christchurch last month.

• Wall of water crosses Japan's east coast
• Large parts of Miyagi prefecture engulfed
• Homes flooded, cars and boats washed away
• No leaks of radioactive material from power plants
• BOM says no tsunami warning for Australia
• Contact DFAT on 1300 555 135

Japanese television has shown pictures of a wall of water kilometres wide moving its way across the countryside, engulfing everything in its path.
The Cosmo oil refinery in Chiba prefecture outside Tokyo has exploded, sending flames dozens of metres into the air, with firefighters unable to contain the inferno.
It is one of more than 40 blazes burning across Japan.
"An earthquake of this size has the potential to generate a destructive tsunami that can strike coastlines near the epicentre within minutes and more distant coastlines within hours," the agency said.
A tsunami warning has been issued across the wider Pacific including Russia, the territories of Guam, Taiwan, the Philippines, the Marshall Islands, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Nauru, Micronesia and Hawaii.
Russia has evacuated 11,000 people from areas that could be affected, including Kuril islands and Sakhalin island. Hawaii has also ordered evacuations.
The Bureau of Meteorology says there is no tsunami threat to Australia.
The quake, already considered one of the worst in Japan's history, struck about 382 kilometres north-east of Tokyo at a depth of 24 kilometres, the US Geological Survey said.
The USGS reported at least eight strong aftershocks, including a 6.8 quake on the mainland 66 kilometres north-east of Tokyo.

Let's all pray that the tsunami wont hit the Philippines, and pray for the Japan
