This footage is terrifying and illustrates the deadly speed with which the tsunami destroyed towns and cities in Japan. The internet is full of way to help but here are a few from cbc.ca that can be used by Canadians:
Humanitarian Coalition
Under the banner of the Humanitarian Coalition, four aid agencies —CARE Canada, Oxfam Canada, Oxfam-Québec and Save the Children Canada — have joined together to raise funds for Japan relief operations.

Doctors Without Borders
Medical and logistics teams from Doctors Without Borders were racing to the worst-hit areas in Japan's Iwate and Miyagi prefectures by helicopter, as roads are blocked by flooding. The organization relies mainly on donations to support field operations for medical assistance.

It hurts to watch that. But, it helps to put things into perspective. I am so sad for all of them...
