'According to Hawaii radio, the latest speculation by the "experts" is a 6 foot wave arriving at the islands at the speed of a plane. Crazy .'
Latest prediction on max wave height seems to be 6 ft.
And due to busy phone lines, I can't even get in touch with the boss to see what's going on for work tomorrow.
The two biggest cruiseliners queen mary 2 and queen elizabeth are both in japanese waters

Al Jazeera also reports the tsunami that hit Sendai airport was 10 meters high.

Reuters: Fire at nuclear plant in Northeast Japan.
The wave's are supposed to be comin up on Taiwan and the Philipines real soon. Though, they say you won't know if the areas will be affected until at least two hours after the estimated arrival time.
airport
Sirens again... guessing it's going to go off every hour at the quarter past mark.
terrorist attack imho. they detonated a hydrogen bomb there under the water
This tsunami is as about as big as a tsunami caused directly by a quake can theoretically get, but landslides can cause much much larger ones. The highest ever recorded was about 1700 feet in Lituya Bay, Alaska when a huge section of a mountain and glacier collapsed into the bay after a large earthquake.
It's a very real possibility in the next few thousand years that the east coast of the US gets wiped out a tsunami like that one above when one of the Canary Islands that is splitting apart breaks off into the sea.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-0...ng-issued.htmlJapan was struck by its strongest earthquake in at least a century, an 8.9-magnitude temblor that shook buildings across Tokyo and unleashed a tsunami as high as 10 meters, engulfing towns along the northern coast.
At least 26 people were killed by the 33-foot wave and many are missing, according to state broadcaster NHK Television, which showed footage of waves sweeping away buildings and vehicles as far as 1.5 kilometers inland. Airports were closed and bullet train services suspended. More than 4 million homes are without power, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said.
The Philippines, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea were among more than 20 countries bracing for a possible tsunami, after the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center raised an alert. The West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center issued a warning for the entire U.S. west coast. Sirens were sounded and coastal areas evacuated in Hawaii, the Associated Press reported.
Crazy footage here:
