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. | ||

God speed Tsunami cat; we can only hope you make it back to safety This is sad. But this picture is not from this earthquake and this is not Tsunami. | ||

That sounds great. Missing down into the hundreds and still only a couple of hundreds reported dead? That sounds unlikely but if it's true then it's amazing. | ||

 It's of course a horrible and huge disaster no matter what, and not just due to the lives lost, but I don't like still feeling completely clueless about the whole situation. | ||

I'm inclined to believe they are bullshitting but I dunno much about anything other than tornadoes and hurricanes as an East-coaster. Edit: just heard about the Oregon / Washington stuff. Now I'm in panic mode as my girlfriend is living west of Seattle at the moment with her really sick mother. gahsdkl;slhasl;hn. | ||

They are only expecting waves from 2-6ft. | ||

For people with family on the west coast of the USA, don't worry. Tsunami waves resulting from this incident are expected to be less than 5 feet high. Keep in mind that the waves had to travel all the way across the Pacific Ocean to get here... | ||

It shouldn't be bad in the US west coast but a few over curious people trying to watch might still be killed. | ||

Confirmed dead, so far, is likely the statistic. | ||

Those numbers are "confirmed dead", ones that are known to have died. That number is closer to 300 now, but the number of missing is still near 6 digits. | ||

Yeah, hate to say it but if it was going to happen to someone I'm glad that it's Japan over any other place. They are the most prepared and the losses in any other area would have been way larger... (glad probably isn't the right word, but I hope you know what I mean) | ||

"1659: Kyodo also reports that the death toll from the earthquake has been revised down by police from 137 to 133. Another 531 people are missing." "1703: The death toll from the earthquake and tsunami is expected to exceed 1,000, Kyodo adds." | ||
