Oh snapz!!!

Don't know if this has been posted before, but anyway.
I've just read in Russian news that -

Earth axis shifted for 10 cm after the earthquake in Japan. It was reported by National Institute of geophysics and volcanology of Italy. The influence was stronger than after the earthquake in Sumatra (which shifted the axis for 6 cm), the earthquake in Japan was weaker than the one in Sumatra, but was on such latitude that reached maximum effect.

sorry if there are any mistakes. Tried to make a brief translation of original article in Russian (gazeta.ru...)

jusy heard from an seismologist on the news that whole Japan has moved 2.5 meters to the east.....
according to geonet readings..

Yeah there is a tsunami warning there, those guys are flirting with disaster.

Santa Cruz is having some trouble at the ports with boats capsizing and damage etc...

It looks to me like boats are being pulled outward from the ports, might be a good idea for anyone to travel a bit further inland as the water is likely to rise I reckon.

I'm on the coast in Southern California. any info/updates on what we should expect? trying to decide if I should leave inland to Riverside.

people are flirting with disater there, can anyone see anyone surfing ?

That's like, HUGE...
I'm going to go look up and see if I can find some links for this... Unless you have them.
That could spell huge changes now couldn't it?
WOW...

1703: The death toll from the earthquake and tsunami is expected to exceed 1,000, Kyodo adds.

I guess it will be much higher than 1.000.

Yeah just read that on Twitter....very much a concern. It looks like the US is trying to (or have already) step in to help cool the reactor.

Wow. The new reporters are probably sitting back with pop corn watching this.


I feel really bad for everyone at the moment.

Yeah those boats are causing some damage, looks like a few runaways are caught up in the swells.

damage reports starting to come into hawaii ,

1708: Nuclear physicist Dr Walt Patterson tells the BBC it sounds like there is a "serious problem" at the Fukushima-Daiichi plant. "It's the sort of thing that nuclear engineers have nightmares about," he says. "If it is not resolved in the next few hours it will get serious. If the core is uncovered, then those rods at the top may get hot enough to melt themselves."

Hmmm not good.

The guy on CNN, was just talking about that. He said that if you take your boat out 5 miles, you very possibly might not even notice the wave/waves. It isn't until it reaches the shallow areas near the shore, where it starts to become noticeable.

From what I can tell, they really cannot predict how it is going to react, once it reaches the shore. This is why they have the warnings in effect. There is a possibility of it becoming a massive wave, but they can't say for sure it will be. If it was me, I would stick to the motto of 'Better safe, than sorry,' and listen to the warnings. A big one can come up unexpected, without much warning.

Oh they are so not local beach people, their first clue should be when the waters start receding like they are and the way the inside break is coming in, wish I had a better view of the outside break.

My God!

What is going on.

We all are familiar with talk of Pole Shifts, Nibiru, the comet Elenin, the Apocalypse, etc., etc.

Whatever is causing all of these earthquakes, floods, blizzards, tornadoes, I do not believe it is random chance. Other than to say that I have nothing.

Peace and Best Wishes to all.
