8.9 Quake hits off coast of Japan! Live Updates.

Looking at my earthquake 3d monitor I can really see something happening on the day of the supermoon. The 20th I think? Thats four days away. I am seeing quakes in unusual places and fairly significant ones too.

Earthquake 3d monitor?
me wants.

yeah i would like that too

Here is the download link for those who are interested. earthquake-3d.en.softonic.com...

reading a fairly strong aftershock coming on on GEE. looks to be about 6.0

will update with real link soon as USGS gets it.



ok, SMR got it posted, i was way off.


Edit: nvm i was close! USGS says 5.8

Thanks.
I thought that it was 3d in the sense that it showed the depth visually (ie showing the different plates in 3d). nonetheless, it's a cool program.

Whats up with that...?
from USGS
earthquake.usgs.gov...

ETA: ok it was updated to a 3.0 I guess I just refreshed when they posted it

One thing I don't understand..

... they keep showing snow and people freezing yet there is wood shattered all around... I see no fires started to provide warmth. The first thing I would do is make a small bonfire that people could get warmed up in front of. Back during the major eastern seaboard blackout I used the apartment incinerator in Toronto to heat water for people. Doesn't take much common sense to take a fuel drum and burn wood for heat. The homeless in America do that. If you have been freezing for days, standing in front of a warm fire is like paradise... just boggles my mind that I don't see anyone making fires

They say they need gasoline, but I see no one taking it out of the gas tanks of the wrecked cars or trucks for deisel... makes no sense at all

Did I read right,they are now spraying from the air,to cool down the reactors?

Yup but only made 4 drops before quitting. Radiation above plant was too high 1000 millesieverts at 1000 feet

Plant #3 dump #1



Plant #4 Dump #4

True ,why no fires haven't seen much saki either

It seems like everyone is unhappy with the flow of information

Ok , how about this source of information

World Nuclear News . I bet the MSM is getting some info from here.

This site can be very slow at times.

World Nuclear News

"Attempts to refill fuel ponds
A struggle is underway to maintain cooling of used nuclear fuel at Fukujima Daiichi 3 and 4. Helicopters have been making water drops and fire trucks are being prepared."


Also mentions in the ticker of Rolling Black Outs in effect.

Anyone see that micro/MV reading on live station ? they were using a meter on some girl and it looked like around micro/mv 50,000. if that is true then that is kind of high. A nuclear plant worker is only allowed micro/MV 20,000 per year.I could not see it that well in the live clip. but I swear that red needle was around 50-60MV reading. though this is still in the low range, I wonder at what location she exposed at? That is good dose radiation for a short time period though.

vanawatu just had a 6.5 a few hours ago , and innisfail in north queensland had one yesterday , .......just sayin , whats goin on man!

reply to post by zorgon


wood+fire+radiation=death so they shouldnt be burning anything and doing there best to find shelter to make it through this crazyness

I heard there was an earthquake in Japan. Is it true? No all jokes aside. Has anyone heard that the Japanese Gov blacked out all RAD readings near their plants.

The Japanese people are in my Prayers.

Yes they are not showing any DAC readings. ( Derived air concentration (DAC)

The concentration of radioactive material in air that will result in an annual limit of intake if an individual breathes that air for a year.

I looked at that clip again since i cannot capture it it looked like 100 on reading of that girl. but I dont know the scale of the meter , I assume in MV / millisieverts per hour .

I get 100 mSv/h, this is again is on the low side but still high for a short time exposure for that girl on NHK.
even if this reading is between 40 -50 Msv/h it's still a good shot of radiation for a short time.

This is about the exposue of a full body scan,one time. From what I remember from nuke weps school for Msv/ Hr basis is that that potassium iodide pills should be distributed when the likely absorbed dose of radioactivity is 100 Msv/hr assuming that this the rate of exposure of this girl on NHK live feed.

Highest reported radiation beside reactor 3 at Fukushima I: 400 mSv/hr[9]
Highest reported radiation at reactor 2, Fukushima I: 8 mSv/hr

I used this old scale conversion:

1 Sv = 1000 mSv (millisieverts) = 1,000,000 μSv (microsieverts) = 100 rem = 100,000 mrem (millirem)
1 mSv = 100 mrem = 0.1 rem
1 μSv = 0.1 mrem
1 rem = 0.01 Sv = 10 mSv
1 mrem = 0.00001 Sv = 0.01 mSv = 10 μSv

Anyone know the scale their using ?


curie
sievert
becquerel
coulomb/kilogram (C/kg)
gray
rad
rem
roentgen (R)
