Japan earthquake/tsunami
Thats a huge quake. Some crazy video of the tsunami. I check the weather buoy data frequently, its crazy how widespread the tsunami buoys are registering abnormalities.

It is a very bad situation over there.

BREAKING NEWS: Japan declares 'nuclear emergency' after problems at power plant - NHK |
epic destruction
floating radioactive clouds? doesn't sound to good...
seeing those debris flows with some of it on fire demonstrates just how quickly it picked up burning buildings :doh: |
The videos I am just seeing as I wake up. Very concerning. Horrible disaster. I can't believe some of the video its just surreal? 22 foot high wall of water??? Unreal! They are evacuating Hawaii coastlines to inland areas.....Hawaii has had a 4.9 earthquake also and they are expecting Tsunami's by 8am EST. California coast and Alaska also on alert.....just amazing. The thought of the loss of life and the destruction is turning my stomach.

the green houses and rows out in the fields are {were} exact measurements
and will give scientists and mathematicians a perfectly accurate rate of debris flow which looks like something you couldn't even run away from before being swallowed by the beast. |
They say these Tsunami's can move at speeds between 500 and 625 miles an hour??? You just can't believe things like this can happen. Imagine that hitting the coast of Hawaii????

Horrible

One of my best friends and his pregnant wife live in Hawaii - she is due on St Patty's day. I shot him a txt wishing him well and to stay in touch. Hopefully its no big deal... but certainly in my T+P.
Horrible news - Hopefully the world comes together to assist those affected. |
thoughts and prayers, especially to our Military folks over in that region...
|
I've been over there, lots of history and the people are so nice and welcoming. Sad that they are faced with this. Let's keep our fingers crossed for them as well as Hawaii and the West Coast.

Rouge waves
when you read about how rouge waves form out of no where
you realize that waves are predictable to a large extent and then suddenly they combine together "out of sequence" becoming a traveling wave that can continue growing....go rouge the lifting of the water due to the earth quake can unpredictably do something similar based upon its timing...:fury::bath: |
just heard that all military folks are accounted for
|
so terrible. THe footage of the harbors is devastating.. totally devastating.
|
Our Nanny's husband is in the Navy over there now. She hasn't been able to get in touch with him, I'm sure he's ok but she is a wreak

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Aftermath of the Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan - Photographs - NYTimes.com |
Water went 60 miles inland! That would be comparable to impacting Boston and reaching to Sturbridge...... How is that for perspective!
|
The videos just make you want to cry for those people. The one of the large fishing boat riding inland for a couple miles is amazing. Very surreal.
|
This is tragic.... I'm sure America, as it always does, will go to their aid...
|
That video is amazing. The water is rushing across fields, and eventually you can see a road ahead with cars driving across it. The water was headed right for the road as people kept driving by.
The thing about tsunamis is that they aren't just tidal waves. They're surges that raise the sea level. So as the water starts flooding the beach, it keeps coming. It's not one wave event - it basically raises the sea level at the shore, and it stays high for a while. That's why the flood can go so far inshore. One big wave would die - the surge lasts and keeps doing damage. |
BF I agree. I got a pit in my stomach thinking about the dread and loss those folks are going through and will continue to go through.
Kinda puts a little different perspective on things Sending good thoughts that way |
I heard a report that a commuter train is missing...
|
Man that's so sad.

US West Coast Devastation & Death
Saw pictures from Santa Cruz harbor where a 2' surge devastated the harbor and numerous boats destroyed.
In northern CA someone had to get a picture of the incoming tsunami wave and went down to the beach: he has not returned and likely washed out to sea. Again wasting Coast Guard resources looking for the a***hole! |
bad info?

6 miles sounds like it makes more sense.
