8.8 magnitude Earthquake in Japan

DeToxRox · 03-11-2011, 01:37 AM

Just saw it as breaking news on CNN.

This one could be devastating.

DeToxRox · 03-11-2011, 01:39 AM

Tokyo (CNN) -- An 8.8-magnitude earthquake hit Japan early Friday, triggering tsunami warnings and sending people fleeing out of buildings in the capital.

The quake rattled buildings and toppled cars off bridges and into waters underneath. In Tokyo, crowds huddled together and tried to reach relatives via cell phone.

Its epicenter was 373 kilometers (231 miles) from Tokyo, the United States Geological Survey said.

It triggered a tsunami warning for various countries, including Japan and Russia, the National Weather Service said.

"Earthquakes of this size are known to generate tsunamis potentially dangerous to coasts outside the source region," it said.

Well it's mentioned as a 7.9 in the article that just came up. Hopefully it sticks at that.

DeToxRox · 03-11-2011, 01:41 AM

Hmm. All the other news sites are listing it as an 8.8. Who knows at this point. Either way it's fucking massive.

Tigercat · 03-11-2011, 01:57 AM

Saying 8.9 now, the footage of the tsunami moving unbelievable amounts of mud, houses, and farmland across miles of land... insane.

Lathum · 03-11-2011, 02:02 AM

My In Laws are on vacation in Hawaii right now and I was just chatting on Facebook with my MIL. She said they are already giving warnings there and people are pretty freaked out and taking it seriously.

Tigercat · 03-11-2011, 02:03 AM

Nevermind. Insane isn't the right word. Watching whole small towns being destroyed on live TV, watching cars run away people fleeing for their lives. Horrible is the only word. Just horrible. This feels like watching 9/11.

k0ruptr · 03-11-2011, 02:09 AM

tsunami watch here, not warning yet, but we'll see. A watch is always called if the earthquake is 7.5 or higher, even if they are unsure of an impending distant tsunami. Warning is when one has definitely been generated.

Scary, and my prayers go out to everyone impacted.

Lathum · 03-11-2011, 02:12 AM

The footage of the wave on MSNBC is pretty crazy

Chief Rum · 03-11-2011, 02:14 AM

Agreed, this is nuts. Watching on Fox as they are showing footage of Japan.

Tigercat · 03-11-2011, 02:18 AM

I'm usually very forgiving with news people, but that CNN broadcasters can use such chipper voices and tones of voice when the footage is obviously showing some amount of deaths... Come on. But instead they tiptoe around the reality, lots and lots of people are losing their lives in horrific ways.

Chief Rum · 03-11-2011, 02:21 AM

Agreed, Tigercat, I am seeing something like that here on the local Fox feed as well. Not chipper, at least they're not doing that. But they seem so matter of fact, and one guy keeps asking how what kind of displacement is needed to cause a wave this big. Dude, who the fuck cares! While this guy's asking this question repeatedly to every new expert, you can see people trying to drive away from the tsunami right on screen. WTF?!?

EagleFan · 03-11-2011, 02:26 AM

unreal; just seeing footage now.

What size was the tsunami? The damage is unimaginable. I can't even comphrehend the potential human toll.

I have seen reports of a line hundreds of miles along. And a second wave the video was focusing on about ten minutes ago was described as 13 feet high.

EagleFan · 03-11-2011, 02:35 AM

Just seeing a clip from the wave pushing over the land. It's sickening to watch; seeing cars that were on the road being swept away and knowing that someone was in that car.

k0ruptr · 03-11-2011, 02:37 AM

oh, fuck. We just got upgraded to a warning. stay alert people. I gotta go to work

edit: reports coming in wave on the way here.

Worried about you all over there. Although the local Fox feed had an expert on that says that the system in place in Hawaii for signaling approaching tsunamis is one of the best in the world.

yup, just signed off facebook chat with my MIL. Their hotel is being evacuated. Luckily they have a friend on the island who lives inland.

k0ruptr · 03-11-2011, 02:43 AM

I'm worried, I work at the airport as a supervisor. My fiance and my house are in the flood zone in Ewa beach, which also in fact is the the pacific tsunami warning center HQ. covering something like 25 countries. Still I really don't want to go to work while my fiance and family are there. I told her evacuate if anything and call me. pretty worried for some reason this time.

Not very religious but my prayers are with you and your family. I hope that it ends as a false alarm for you.

Stay safe, k0ruptr. Make sure your fiance keeps a level head and be ready. Is there someplace they can go if they need to?

Young Drachma · 03-11-2011, 02:54 AM

Watching coverage on CNNi right now. Just horrifying stuff.

Chief Rum · 03-11-2011, 03:06 AM

Tsunami horns are sounding in Honolulu, per Fox. Scary. Be safe, k0ruptr!

Neon_Chaos · 03-11-2011, 03:13 AM

Tsunami alerts have been raised throughout the Philippines' eastern coast. We're expecting one to hit in 1 to 3 hours if there is one, expecting at least a 1 meter wave if it's there.

Where is Paranaque in relation to the east coast? Are you close to Manila? IIRC, most of the primary population centers of the Philippines are on the west side of the main islands. I would think that would be a good thing.

Hope you stay safe, Neon.

EagleFan · 03-11-2011, 03:31 AM

Just reporting that the west coast is now on a tsunami watch (estimating 7 AM PST).

Paranaque City is part of Metro Manila. Metro Manila is kind of in the bottleneck part of the land, between two bays, although primarily towards the western bay. We should be safe, although worried about relatives in the east coast.

Thanks for the concern. Will update if a tsunami hits us first, for the people in hawaii.

Holy crap. AFtershocks are apparently in the 7 e

EagleFan · 03-11-2011, 03:50 AM

Hawaii just ordered evacuation of coastal areas.

Chief Rum · 03-11-2011, 03:52 AM

Almost 11 p.m. in Hawaii. Reports I am seeing says first water to hit around 3 a.m. locally. Four hours to get out...

EagleFan · 03-11-2011, 03:53 AM

Everyone in the danger zones please take care of yourselves and your families.

I was just checking out the recent earthquake list on USGS. Looks like there has been quite a bit of activity in Japan the last 60 hours or so. I counted four 6.0+ earthquakes there in the last 2 days before this big one hit.

Devastating...I was in a couple of 7's while I was in Japan and they were scary as hell. Both times I thought the building I was in was coming down and many around the area did. Now if I'm not mistaken an 8.9 would be like 3 7's at once or some shit in magnitude. Crazy. Very sorry to hear the news but I know the Japaneese are in good hands as far as disaster recovery teams.

Also, good luck Hawaii.

Scary footage. I have never seen water do that. A lot of the stuff in Japan looks like toys in the tube. My prayers and thoughts are with them.

claphamsa · 03-11-2011, 09:19 AM

news from hawaii indicated waves only up to 3 feet... so no REAL damage... ut well see....

GrantDawg · 03-11-2011, 09:21 AM

There are reports that possible waves are just now hitting Hawaii at 6-7 feet. It might be spotty and eradict. So, the west coast might have several hours of watching ahead. This is crazy stuff. The videos out of Japan are insane.

Don't forget the richter scale is a log scale. An 8 is 10 times worse than a 7, so an 8.9 is 90 times worse than a 7!

GrantDawg · 03-11-2011, 09:32 AM

North shore of Mauii harbour gauge just hit 6 feet, receeded 6 feet, then hit over 6 feet.

Vince, Pt. II · 03-11-2011, 10:30 AM

Coastal roads in Santa Cruz closed, though they're only expecting a 3-5 foot wave. Scary, scary stuff. My heart goes out to all those affected by the devastating natural disaster

Unfortunate choice of words there.
