• four Californians in Crescent City have been swept out to sea by the tsunami
• two of them have been rescued and taken to safety
• one is confirmed dead; the fourth is, as of now, unaccounted for source

Honestly, this kinda bothers me. Hundreds of Japanese are dead or missing, and we only start caring once Americans are involved? Yes, it is just as sad that they died as anyone else, but out of hundreds, if not thousands, of people who are hurt or could be dead, we are just going to focus on these four, only one of whom is dead, because they’re American? People were freaking out about California and Hawaii with the tsunami coming in 8 hours, and while it is scary that that could happen, they got like three foot waves while Japan was under water within an hour. Americans are only worried about their own back yard, when the problems are much worse globally.
