I cant find a link on the info, but fox 2 news St louis says that it should be hitting about now. I have not seen any difference though.

rt.com...

Russian site - includes images and footage as well as a warning map.

Eye-witnesses have been posting their accounts via Twitter. User japanreports wrote: “People are running out into the traffic, there are some who died under the wheels…. There are fires in Tokyo. And in every place where there were quake shocks. Oil and gas depots are ablaze, the fire is 30 meters high.”
“The tremors lasted a total of three hours with interruptions,” wrote user MIG222K. “Helicopters are flying everywhere.”

P-Wave travel times (link is here as individual times would be too long to list for singular locations.) As this quake was shallow, expect possible individual spontaneous ruptures of worldwide faults to be ruptured by the passing of these P-Waves as a after-effect.

(If you imagine ringing a bell, the reverberating energy passing through the Earth hitting another fault across the Earth and releasing the energy through that, etc.)

Dont know if it has been reported on here yet, A dam in Japan has burst, washing away hundreds of homes, just reported on Sky News.

Completely shocking and devastating. My Thoughts go out to all those eected by this disaster.

There have been more than 70 aftershocks of greather than 5.0 since the 8.9 hit.
Is this over.........
or will there be another big quake

Russia news from the above link

Other areas in Pacific may also be affected
The first waves, reportedly measuring three meters high, have also reached Russia's neighboring Kuril Islands, located to the north of Japan. Eleven thousand people have been evacuated from coastal areas in anticipation of more tsunami waves.
A state of emergency has been declared throughout the entire Sakhalin Region. Officials say they are getting ready for any type of scenario, while tsunami clean-up services are on high alert.
No injuries or serious damage have been reported so far in the Kuril Islands.
Several hours ago, weather forecasts were saying there was a high risk of a tsunami reaching the continental part of Russia. At the moment the risk is said to have decreased.

Here is a good link to many videos of the Japan earthquake and tsunami footage-

It sounds like small waves are hitting Oregon right now, Cali should be shortly 11:16 am San Farn, 11:39 AM Santa Monica, Newport Beach 11:45

Wasn't it said that the US west coast wouldn't be affected by the warning?

Strange there were alot of activity on the coat of the Washington live feed and it went black. Short after that i watched the Oregon live feed and it went offline aswell.

ive been watching the cali and oregon cams for a while and just normal waves
maybe it has died down by now?

reply to post by SeeingBlue


The entire West Coast is under Tsunami warning but they say nothing more then three feet waves which shouldn't be an issue

Can anyone tell me what San Diego situation is please?
