| Forum Index > General Forum |
Thread is about the various issues surrounding Japan in the aftermath of the recent earthquake. Don't bring the shit side of the internet to the thread, and post with the realization that this thread is very important, and very real, to your fellow members. Do not post speculative and unconfirmed news you saw on TV or anywhere else. Generally the more dramatic it sounds the less likely it's true. | ||

After all the rubble and debris and sludge is cleared, the saltwater from the ocean will render the farmland useless. This is really a terrible event. I dearly hope that the world is willing to help Japan rebuild. OMG.~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | ||

Listening to the local news radio, no news of this. Please let this not be true.  Samar is also one of the provinces that is in under the tsunami alert. | ||

I can't fathom everyone on the coast being able to get out in time, especially since you're talking about tens of thousands of people getting on the roads and driving for their lives. "Japan warns of an imminent strong quake on Northeastern Honshu Island" just now from Al Jazeera. | ||

I don't think it's the height really that's important moreso than the horizontal speed. It remains to be known if these waves will be threatening but much of the energy will be lost traveling a thousand miles for sure. | ||
