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.

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

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

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

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.

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?

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.
