Tidal Wave heading to Japan?

There is a warning flashing on all of the tv channels we get, as well up on the yahoo.co.jp website of a tsunami approaching Northern Japan.

It seems to be heading to north-eastern Japan, especially the World Heritage wildlife reserve of Shiretoko. The t.v. is forecasting waves of 2 meters in that area. Down the eastern-honshuu coast waves of 0.5 meters are expected.

We are along way from the coast here in Tsukuba, so no worries there. The warning system seems extensive, as one would expect from Japan. It is amazing how quickly they get the warnings out there on television. I wonder what will happen in the future though, if we move to an internet based information system where everyone is watching one of a million different channels.
