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.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

This is tragic.... I'm sure America, as it always does, will go to their aid...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

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.... |

6 miles sounds like it makes more sense.

It changed time in the world.
Earth's day length shortened by Japan earthquake - CBS News
I told my 16 yo last night as we watched videos and pictures that this is probably the largest disaster to strike in my entire life and quite possibly his and it's going to get alot worse before it gets better. Radiation clouds can easily cross the Pacific...
I'm betting at the minimum there will be another VERY large quake somewhere on the other side of the ring of fire within the next few months...
I have a question that I haven't been able to answer.... Maybe Mr Oakley can chip in with some professor geoisms...
If there was a mile wide whirlpool that was s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g down sea water....where does the water go..does it stay underground now forever and does the ocean level now drop because of the water? Or does it maintain the level of ocean height and filter back into the environment? |

It actually displaces the water, which generates the energy for the tsunami. If you imaging the length of the fault, x the displacement (8ft) all of the displaced water does not go into the crust.
it is a subduction zone, and water circulates down into the earth (crust and mantle) as the ocean floor is subducted under Japan, but it is mostly in the pore spaces of the sediment on the ocean floor and in the cracks in the underlying rocks..
but.. caveat.. I'm a glacial/coastal guy.. not a seismologist! |

8.9 quake!!!!!! I never heard of one even close to that. That scale is logarithmic , 8.9 is incredible.
Lots of concerns about what may happen next saturday or around that date with the moon so close and the perfect alignment. I read somewhere that the earths crust could be distorted as much as 1 percent. 1 percent doesn't sound like much but 1 percent of something as large as the earths crust is a big deal. Could be the moons pull as it gets closer that has cause this huge quake.

10X in shaking for every number but I heard today 32X in energy for every number increase? Never heard it expressed that way.
Mag 1 = 6 oz TNT
Mag 9 = 6 x32x32x32x32x32x32x32x32/(16*2000) = 200 Million TONS TNT |
