You do know that when a quake hits, there will be many of them.. one after a another..

I belive that they are called 'after quakes'..

dude, a magnitude 8 quake is huge. the great San Franscisco quake (I think 1908) was only a 7.7. this is higher. Hokkaido will be lucky if their entire island isn't mincemeat, and resulting tsunamis could hit anywhere from Alaska to Hawaii to Russia.

edit: Hokkaido isn't a city

For a quake so big, it's amazing more people weren't hurt. No reports of fatalities yet, which is even more amazing.

They called the guy who predicted a large quake in Japan crazy.

A little low on the mag, a little early on the date, but still...7-pluses don't happen every day.

He predicted a quake for tokyo, he wasnt too far of the mark.


Edit:why does the edit take away the writing that was originally there.

I think the reason for the lower fatality rate is that the epicenter was Offshore...
I have to check again, but I am pretty sure that I read that early on. Still.... that is a very low number for such a strong quake.

Ummm has anyone wondered if this might possibly be a side effect of the usage of HAARP to downgrade Isabel?
I know, its a shot in the dark.... but this is ATS.

yes i read that prediction one of the ATS forums also. I can't remember where it was at but when I woke up real early this morning I logged on to yahoo.com and found it in their news ticker. I was amazed, right then i remembered the prediction that guy made.

We are not panicking for ourselves.
Sorry our compasion for our fellow human beings is a bother to you.

From CCN story
"Earlier this month, Japan marked the 80th anniversary of a magnitude 8.3 quake that devastated Tokyo and neighboring Yokohama, killing at least 140,000 people.

In January 1995, a magnitude 7.2 temblor in Kobe killed more than 6,000 people. "
