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. | ||

So far the news hasn't reported any tsunami damage - first waves were supposed to hit around 11:50 (30min ago) at a height of ~0.5m. Other prefectures warning times are for 0:20. Most warnings are for 0.5m with a 1m warning for miyagi prefecture. No further damage/danger for the nuclear reactors reported at this point. | ||

Minimal damage but NHK news reported two nuclear plants in Miyagi lost power, but their backup generators kicked in automatically. Fukushima Daiichi has no new problems and most injuries seem to be from people running outside and tripping. That said there seemed to be an explosion in Miyagi, not sure what that was about - maybe just lights tripping out in the distance. Sigh. Any time these want to stop I honestly wouldn't mind. | ||

Was the decision to vacation in Japan made before or after the disaster? | ||
