a reply to: RickinVa

It's possible that this was still an aftershock of the 9.1.

Live stream is linked to faux news... Therefore you will get all sorts of doom porn!

Actually the live stream I posted is not linked to Fox News. It is a japanese local live feed.

Not sure about the OP, but that link has nothing to do with Fox either.

Here is the live feed again for those that seem to have an issue with the reporting on this>

Live Feed

Live feed cutoff just after they showed some nice rollers coming onto the beach. The breakers 'looked' to be 9 to 10 feet in height judging by the treeline along the shore. The rollers were stacked up one behind the other, then the feed went off line on YouTube.

Feed me Seymour...

They seem to be getting bigger. Lots of worried people on the live feed.

The live feed I just posted is working fine for me.

Strange that one opens a different feed. The one I had on before had a faux news streamer. This one does not TY sir!

Just a reminder folks... those two great big towers that you just saw.... are in very very bad shape...


What is inside those towers must never be allowed out...


They are still standing and that is a very good thing.

Any Aussies wanting a feed here's ABC currently with a feed from Japan with a live translator

ABC News 24 Australia live feed

Thoughts are with all x

Reporting they were able to restart the pump at the reactor now.

I'm glad it looks peaceful on the live feed.
I hope that remains the case.

Do we know roughly how long it will take to hit the shore?

They are saying the incoming and outgoing waves are/will get larger. Tide level is still rising at this point. 1 meter waves already hitting shore and as backwash occurs they will get larger as they come in.

The waves have already hit, but the second or third waves may/will be higher and they have not hit yet.

At least the people have had ample warning to evacuate.. Let's hope no loss of life occurs in Japan.. And this thing just fizzles out.

Everytime they show the Onahama Port it looks like the water was still having backflow.Since it has been going on a while what could this mean wave wise?

Heartening to see the traffic near the coast on the NHK feed mostly heading in one speedy direction.

Official says the depth 25m and magnitude revised to 7.4.
