Crazy, thats 50 megatons worth of power right there. you cant hide from mother nature and she proves it time and time again. discuss

[Frosty]

Crazy stuff, hopefully the death and injuries are kept to a minimum.

[sweetbmxrider]

Holy ****, 8.9 is no joke

[Frosty]

Neither is a 23ft tidal wave lol. Though some place are reporting a 13ft wave, others are saying 23ft....either way it's messed up :(

[JL8Jeff]

I thought there was an 8.2 quake in China a couple of days ago as well. New Zealand a couple weeks ago, that part of the world is way too active right now.

Some crazy photos.

[Frosty]

Wow...

[greenformula92]

thats cause things are moving around, remember that air port in florida where the runway wasn't pointing exactly north anymore, but when it was built it is, the plates are moving, i think i read that the magnetic plate that makes a compass work is moving like 40 miles a year

[LTb1ow]

And Obama's master plan to ruin the toyota car company comes forth with a vengeance, GM will reign once and for all!!


wait,wut?


Sucks, lots of damages, but are they predicting a lot of casualties? Kinda sounds like they managed to evacuate a lot of people beforehand?

[sweetbmxrider]

There's some pics with people up on roof tops. In that one vid nasty posted, you see cars driving on the road that's about to be covered. Pretty scary stuff living so close to the ocean.

I lol'd.

Look at the power of modern infrastructure. An 8.9 earthquake and tsunami yielded relatively little damage. Compare to what happens in other countries, it looks like Japan was well prepared. I wish them the best though because that is still a terrible turn of events.

oh man. I can't fathom that. I don't even want to fathom that. just wow.

i was reading somewhere that 2 nuclear plants there were having problems with their cooling and they are evacuating everyone around it

[WiMiMc]

i heard the waves are now hitting oregon and the rest of the west coast. at least them and hawaii had enough notice.

Yeah the yahoo article touched on it. Pretty effing crazy.

[Squirrel]

great... gas is probably gonna go up, awesome

[JL8Jeff]

great... gas is probably gonna go up, awesome

Yeah, between Lybia, the Saudi's getting rowdy and an earthquake and tsunamis, the speculators will probably run up the price of oil/gas. Isn't this time of year when they do their annual maintenance before they switch over to the non winter gas as well? :-?

[Frosty]

Another 6.6 quake just hit Japan

[NastyEllEssWon]

man thats a hell of an aftershock. i only found out about this last night after my buddy in cali called me up to mention an emergency broadcast for tsunami wave warnings in san fransisco. that couldve been hugely devastating for sure. i cant even begin to fathom taking a 8.9, then a tsunami and finish it off with a 6.6 aftershock the next day. its just....wild.

[Frosty]

Makes you realize how insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things....

Actually they were saying there were a bunch of aftershocks and there was a 7.something before the 8.9

[BigAls87Z28]

That's what I said to a friend that lives in SF. asked him if there were any reports of a large lizard coming out of the water.
