8.9 Quake hits near Northeastern Coast of Japan

[LnGrrrR]

I know it was just a fyi. I guess your more concerned with flooding in New England these days.

Uhm... I live in Honolulu.

[Cry Havoc]

People from Japan stating that the Earthquake was over 3 minutes long.

[TE]

Total chaos.

[Cry Havoc]

Uhm... I live in Honolulu.

What makes you think you're out of the tsunami zone?

[usdane]

Uhm... I live in Honolulu.

In that case run for higher ground

[LnGrrrR]

What makes you think you're out of the tsunami zone?

Checking the evacuation zones on the map. From the looks of it, the evac zones are relatively shallow. (Then again, maybe it's because I'm used to the much larger ing hurricane evac zones after living in MS... natural disaster follows me.)

Then again, you never know. They say the wave is going to hit at 3 AM. Maybe it will be like last year, where they hyped up a possible wave that was about as bad as high tide.

600 students at a graduation party where the roof caved in, damn.

[redzero]

redzero, you make det GY!BE thread on /mu/?

... maybe.

[LnGrrrR]

Worse comes to worse, I'll go up to the second floor and call the boss to see if I still have to go to work. Maybe we'll get out of the monthly "Warrior Run"

[IronMexican]

... maybe.

Hahah

It really depends, LNGrrrR. If the faulting occurred from a N-S fault, you're probably going to get hit pretty hard. If it's an E-W fault, you'll likely be ok.

I should have been in bed an hour ago but I can't pull myself away from the tsunami coverage

Can't be any worse than Katrina...

But yeah, looks like it will be a long night... blah.

[Cry Havoc]

Holy it looks bad.

You never know. So be careful and hopefully it doesn't get bad over there.

We can only hope that the population had some kind of warning this time.

[Cry Havoc]

Dear god.

[MannyIsGod]

Most of the population in Japan is away from the location of the quake so that probably explains all the farmland that you saw on those video feeds.

[Cry Havoc]

You're looking at t-minus 5 hours before the tsunami hits you, LnG.
