appx 3AM Hawaii time

anyone know how fast the tsunami is traveling in the ocean ?Or have a possible timetable for other countries in the tsunami path?

This is the beginning ,be prepared,some have thought all this talk and warnings was in jest,but no,it's not it's real.

This may be the most sad TV I have seen...right up there with 9/11.

I feel so bad for the people stuck in cars...driving not even knowing what is coming...or those that tried to get out and run


Thoughts and prayers is all I can say.

You can read it more clearly on the link

From they video feed on CNN, they are showing burning power plants, the airport underwater and oil refineries ablaze... It's official Japan is virtually laid to waste.

Hope their nuke plants are ok

Am I seeing that it is now a 8.9??

That's what I'm hearing on Al Jazeera, they're reporting an 8.9 upgrade.

Can't confirm. Just repeating what I heard.

Just found this article on the BBC which i think is revelant.

Geological instability causes around 1,000 tremors in the country each year, although many of these go undetected by the public.

Every time they do strike they are a reminder to the country's capital, Tokyo, that it is long overdue "a Big One".

BBC

Could this be the big one?

My good thoughts and wishes to all in Japan and i honestly hope that loss of life is minimal.

Huge fire breaks out at oil refinery!

reply to post by Ear-Responsible


Wow this is insane! Watchin FOXNEWS live and seeing all of the people atop what looks like an airport looking down at all of the cars being washed away... Now showing some kind of facility in flames.. Also getting hit by aftershocks in the 7s!

Am I the only one who is watching this footage and thinking it looks like a Hollywood movie?
It is almost surreal.
I hate to say it but I feel rather.....conditioned/desensitized
It is hard and I have to keep reminding myself that I am not watching a movie.
This is actually happening!
