Not for sure if advisory or warning as of yet, will look for it

Good grief...

Do you think we could catch a break?

Let us hope this does not cause additional damage or misery...

Jesus, the depth was just 3 miles

may god be with them, I think this will definitely cause a tsunami

Just had one in Wyoming 4 mins ago also....Seems the ones in Japan are growing...Japan is already done for....Why don't those peeps get out of there????

I see the depths of these quakes are getting closer to the surface. Makes ya think a little! I just caught the USGS notification of the Wyoming quake. Any updates on the magnitude and/or depth? USGS was not able to provide that for some reason.

There has been a tsunami warning for Miyagi prefecture with a height of around 0.5 meters.

My place here in Hawaii was hit by the tsunami a few weeks ago. This is the best source for info. Seems like nothing should happen...maybe a small surge in Japan, but nothing serious.

Where do you see the tsunami advisory/warning, or is that just specualtion on your part. They have had aftershocks in the 6 range and no tsunamis. Just wondering if i missed something somewhere on your link.

Even more strange! I just went back to check for the seismic info again and the quake had been erased from te map!

I guess Ill have to start copying links in real-time

They say the waves are coming now. Tsunami warning imminent for Japan. They apparently see them.

The 2.5 in Wyoming was removed here because it was probably reviewed and classified lower than a 2.5.

reply to post by Sky watcher


Who say????

The NOAA says there is no tsunami threat!!

I said this on another post already, but it still remains true....

I remember on 9/11 the French president, or prime minister, said that today we are all American.

Today we are all Japanese.

May god help them now....

Jeez, have you all been drinking????

I know I have, but bloody hell, calm down

This was a 6.5 they have been having these at this mag for the last few weeks

There is NO TSUNAMI warnings in effect!!!!\

Clear?
