8.9 Quake hits off coast of Japan! Live Updates.

reply to post by GullibleUnderlord


Hey sorry if you mentioned it thirty some odd pages back but what should this quake be reported as in your opinion?

Just for some FYI there are Five US naval ships on the way, two are currently there. The current estimates for the Tsunami was Thirty feet high, Astounding really, Japanese rail service is currently stopped, and Japan is currently mobilizing it's forces to deal with aid relief, three hundred ships and aircraft and of course man power is being mobilized. Email, Cell service and the like are fluctuating so if you can not get a hold of people in Japan that you are trying to that is why. Further more if you are in Japan please unless it's an emergency do not use your Cell coverage.

Chile has upgraded it's alert to a warning, and evacuations are taking place along it's coast. In Cali a man taking pictures was killed as he was dragged out to sea. (Told you not to bub). Large waves and high riptides are a reality for the next few hours with multiple aftershocks and at least two above 6.0 have been monitored. So if you are in Hawaii or the West Coast you dodged a bullet but it is not over. Do not be stupid and go surfing in this stuff. Riptides are as dangerous as the initial Tsunami waves.

4.9 earthquake, near the east coast of Honshu, Japan. Mar 12 7:22am at epicenter (41m ago, 164km ESE of Morioka, depth 2… j.mp...

I thought the nuclear power plants gotten hit by the earthquake and not by the Tsunami?

PLEASE correct me if i'm wrong, but from what i've been hearing, it would be almost a death blow to Japan.

They have over 50 Nuclear plants in Japan, and the problem that I am having is that even a meltdown does explode, and when it does wont it take more nuclear plants since there isn't much for miles in between them all?

But wouldn't the water recede to it's previous place, leaving the coastline destroyed, but still in the same place?

NOW THEY LOST CONTROL OF TEMPS IN TWO !!

Tokyo Electric Power Co. says it has lost control of pressure in 2 nuclear power reactors; temps rising huff.to... #jpquake


or could be the same one with 2 reactors

STRESSING offshore i am so not listening to them shills anymore

It's the truth though, is it not?

That´s the problem it doesn´t recede at this point.

And this is why I hate nuclear power.

Dumbest idea ever.

I don't believe a meltdown "explodes"...I may be wrong...but I thought of it more as loss of containment and control of the reaction. It releases a lot of radiation...but not sure if it explodes.

They need to take every precaution and evacuate the towns within at least a 20 mile radius. Not sure if they've done this already.

I heard that because of the valleys the water is stuck and not receding. The surge was so high that it has gone over ridges and the drainage is clogged by the debris and lots of broken infrastructure.
