Japan flights

[Jaryd stock]

I put this question to anyone.....

Regarding the airports and possible tsunami, the airport that is on the news at the moment with the wave going over the top of apron and subsequent pictures of the aftermath I noticed that no aircraft were present at any of the aerobridges or on the apron.

Were any swept away, or were they quickly towed or taxied to an area that is higher up? Remembering that they had only 15 mins between quake and when the tsunami hit.

And also to add to this long winded question. what is JASDF, and USAF's direction when a tsunami may be endangering the base they are operating from do they put everything up or what do they do?......
