Johanna Faust, a mixed race Jew, prefers to publish pseudonymously. She is committed: first, to preventing war, ecological disaster, and nuclear apocalypse; last to not only fighting for personal privacy & the freedom of information, but, by representing herself as a soldier in that fight, to exhorting others to do the same. She is a poet, always. All these efforts find representation here: "ah, Mephistophelis" is so named after the last line of Christopher Marlowe's Dr. Faustus, whose heretical success flouted the censor for a time. 













































































































































          

        

          

        










Tsunami Engulfs Japan, Threatens All Pacific Rim
(VIDEO ROUNDUP)














And that means me; I'm below the tenth floor.... 



Will hit SF at 8:08 am.  Must check on Hawaii. I am now listening to the tsunami warning targeting me.  33 foot waves in Japan, unthinkable, salting all the  farmland in slow motion, ruining the airports, tossing cars like toys. In Japan they issued a tsunami warning within three minutes of the earthquake....



Evacuate...      ..... prepare for flooding.






Here's reposted from the Tribune:

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration estimates that the tsunami could hit Point Arena at 7:26 a.m., Point Reyes at 7:39 a.m., Monterey at 7:44 a.m., and San Francisco at 8:08 a.m.






And this frightening footage from Russia Today:






And worse, from Al Jazeera

More as it happens -- if I have to go, you know I will have to bring the internet with me...  if  I can ...  



God help us.















Be seeing you.

    thank you -- it was a mere three foot swell here, and that at low tide, so we were ok -- my heart goes out to the people in Japan -- i'm grateful to be safe.
