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.
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????
BREAKING NEWS: Japan declares 'nuclear emergency' after problems at power plant - NHK
Sat 5AM Boston time
IWAKI, Japan — An explosion at a nuclear power station Saturday destroyed a building housing the reactor amid fears that it was close to a disastrous meltdown after being hit by a powerful earthquake and tsunami.
Friday's double disaster, which pulverized Japan's northeastern coast, has left 574 people dead by official count, although local media reports said at least 1,300 people may have been killed.
Tokyo Power Electric Co., the utility that runs the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, said four workers had suffered fractures and bruises and were being treated at a hospital. A nuclear expert said a meltdown may not pose widespread danger.
Footage on Japanese TV showed that the walls of the reactor's building had crumbled, leaving only a skeletal metal frame standing. Puffs of smoke were spewing out of the plant in Fukushima, 20 miles (30 kilometers) from Iwaki.
"We are now trying to analyze what is behind the explosion," said government spokesman Yukio Edano, stressing that people should quickly evacuate a six-mile (10-kilometer) radius. "We ask everyone to take action to secure safety

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.
"I know a taxidermy man back home. He gonna have a heart attack when he see what I brung him!"
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...
Water went 60 miles inland! That would be comparable to impacting Boston and reaching to Sturbridge...... How is that for perspective!

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.

I heard this earlier, but latest I have heard was that water went six mile inland.... I don 't know which is correct, but even six miles is devastating....

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!
