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.

Home camera video footage of someone in Sendai as the earthquake hit. Scary stuff.

I can't watch the feed, it's horrible to watch how absolutely helpless those in cars are. I saw one guy get stuck in a car queue with the wave less than 100 metres behind him, he got out and tried to out run the wave. A truck was driving off to the north, thinking the wave was coming from the south only to have the wave come around a building and also head in from the north.

You can check USGS at any time for up to date seismic info. There's at least half a dozen 6+ richter earthquakes on there already.

I have a lot of friends in Japan and ever since this happened, I haven't heard anything from them. The death toll at the moment is small but it will raise.

What I fear the most isn't Japan but the small isles on Pacific which are so low that the tsunami waves can fully sweep over them. Nauru, Guam etc. there countries have no way to protect themselves

Al Jazeera's reporting that the Red Cross anticipates many waves being higher than some pacific islands.

CATDAT is reporting in excess of $100 billion damage with the upper bound being around $1 trillion USD.

at least as powerful? i didnt hear that on the al jazeera livestream.. plz say where you got this from thx


I think it is more of a warning. There is no reasonable way to predict the actual magnitude that I know of, so they want to keep the people on their guard.

The latest aftershocks are reported to be up to a 7.0 magnitude.

Aftershocks are less powerful than the original quake, however the location often changes as immense residual stresses in the ground caused by the original are relieved. The altered location can often lead to significant damage especially if the shock is closer to the surface.

EDIT: As was seen in Christchurch, the aftershock induced much greater forces in CBD than the original quake, due to the close proximity of the epicentre. So for all the poor people on the ground, the aftershock could quite easily be considered "more powerful".
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Do seawalls even do anything to mitigate waves of this scale?

Disturbing. There was aljazeera footage of the wave hitting the farmlands. There were scant figures of people in the distance scrambling around as the tsunami crept up on them.

Kenichi hears that Tokyo Disneyland, right on Tokyo Bay, is beginning to get flooded. This is freaky stuff, I don't like it one bit.


Sendai Airport is basically under water.


Now it is be esitamted that some the waves of the Tsunami might be happier than some of the pacific islands?!
