Oh my God. This is awful. You guys need to see this helicopter footage of wave after wave of tsunamis coming into shore. I have never seen anything as wild/awful as this.

Alaska?

[sooner59]

Holy crap!

[btk108]

I'm just seeing the footage.....wow! Unfreakingbelievable. Remember those people in your prayers.

[Curly Bill]

I spent 3 years in Misawa just 150 miles north of what they're showing on TV right now. I'm seeing tweets saying the air base is a mess.

[yankee]

Alaska?

This is not a limited wave shot from the cameras. It was a Heli several thousand feet up in the air and looking up the coast and you just see wave after wave racing in and slamming the coast. Incredible.

[yankee]

Keep these people in your prayers. :(

[sooner59]

Just saw footage of a decent sized ship get smashed into a bridge.

[btk108]

they're warning Australia now

[sooner59]

They just announced that Hawaii and the entire Pacific coastline is now on warning for tsunamis. In about 9 hours, they could reach the U.S. west coast.

[yankee]

Breaking news: 1 person confirmed dead. Really? :rolleyes:

[sooner59]

Japan has top notch building standards and apparently it happened in the afternoon and folks began heading to high ground right after the shaking stopped. If this would have been in a 3rd world country, it would have been massively devastating.

[Curly Bill]

No doubt.

The damage from this is going to be incredible, but the deaths will be nowhere near the 2004 Boxer Day earthquake/tsunami in SE Asia.

[btk108]

not being an *** with all the loss of life and property but.....what the hell kind of effect is this going to have on the global economy. I think we're screwed.

[yankee]

not being an *** with all the loss of life and property but.....what the hell kind of effect is this going to have on the global economy. I think we're screwed.

I'm no expert, but I can only imagine this having a significant impact, only because Japan is such an economic powerhouse. This has brought Japan to its knees.

[sooner59]

Well...glass half full...at least we don't get our oil from them. Going to be interesting, though, how it shakes out.

[btk108]

Dusty....yah...but they're still a financial giant....look what happened after 911

That ain't right

[pphilfran]

Global warming is the cause...warmer temps have caused the earth itself to warm allowing the continental plates to move abruptly...since 2004 we have two of the largest earthquakes in the last 100 years....what more evidence does one need?

[C&CDean]

Don't even go there phil. If you really need to say stupid things like that start a new thread and you'll get all the action/lambasting you'll want. Leave this thread to the earthquake/tidal waves/etc.

Who's fault?

[2121Sooner]

Plus if that was the cause Al Gore would have been selling earthquake offsets and making millions

[Lott's Bandana]

Who's fault?

That made me tremble with laughter.

[StoopTroup]

Japan will get over this. It might take awhile but they'll get over it all. They have had more than one tragedy, same as us. This really sucks though. A nearly 9.0 earthquake is massive.

Definitely prayer their way.

[HBick]

That nuclear reactor in the disaster zone is of particular concern, they apparently got it shut down, but it's not cooling properly. Also the US base in Southern Japan is on lock down, I have a buddy there, he said they were having a Tsunami party.

But didn't Obama said the US is ready to assist? I'll tell you, the pictures on CNN and Fox News are nothing to scoff at

[jumperstop]

Those aerial vids from Sendai are unreal...5-0 needs to check in.

[2121Sooner]

And I love how the White House released a statement saying our friendship with Japan is unshakeable and we will be there to help them.

Really......unshakeable?

Best word your writers could come up with? And people said Bush was stupid.

[StoopTroup]

yep. They say Kauai has seen a 3 foot rise in the tides.

Looks like the Nuclear Power Plant there is of the biggest concern...

Waves expected to hit San Francisco in about 12 minutes (8:00 PST). It's low tide so they don't expect it to be bad, but all the beaches and oceandrive highways are closed.

[OUthunder]

[HBick]

LOL, go to CNN, they are simulcasting Japanese news stations and they two girls on CNN just laughed at a hand drawn map by a Japanese reporter

I figured the one giggled because she knew the other one locked on to the diagram and didn't understand it and got her shut up before she ended up on a Daily Show clip.

estimates 200-300 in just that one city. they can't even get to the airport in that city, it's all under water.

that japanese gov't has already asked for help from the us military

I'm afraid it's going to be a lot more than that. Those videos made it seem devastating, I hope that it's not as bad as I'm thinking.

I think the navy is already on send the USS Ronald Regan that way.

[StoopTroup]

One shot showed a town flooding and there were tons of cars just floating down the streets like huge rocks....

I'd have to think the loss of life might be lower because of Japan's warning system but it's hard to imagine how those folks get out if the buildings collapse after the water and cars and debris pound on them....

[StoopTroup]

I'm afraid it's going to be a lot more than that. Those videos were made it seem devastating, I hope that it's not as bad as I'm thinking.

Yeah I don't think it'll be on the scale of Hatii bad but still bad none the less.

[StoopTroup]

Yeah I don't think it'll be on the scale of Hatii bad but still bad none the less.

Let's hope. Haiti didn't get hit hit the water like Japan is. Haiti's problem I thought was poor construction and infra-structure to handle a massive tragedy. Japan handles these things pretty well but the Tsunami and a possible Nuclear meltdown has to be their worst fears when these things happen.

I never had to bail to higher ground. No wall of water, just the tide lowering to dramatic levels exposing reef, and then the tide would come back. This has happened about 20 times so far.

The All Clear hasn't sounded as there were many aftershocks from the quake. I think we were very lucky especially compared to Japan.

I'm fine. Bangkok is not affected much by Pacific coast tsunamis because of geographic physicality, which tends to radiate east. Bangkok is very lucky as Cambodia tends to shield it from tsunamis and typhoons. And, Bangkok is far enough away from the "ring of fire" that it doesn't have earthquakes and only feels a slight tremor very rarely when there is a major earthquake in Burma.

Now, penisular southern Thailand is a different story, either on the Pacific ocean side or the Indian ocean side.

I lost a co-worker last night, and the day before another co-worker lost his 34-year old daughter. These are the ones I'll be most concerned with. What happened in Japan is a major bummer, but there's not much I can do personally to help them. The folks I work with? Yup. Besides, gallows humor is an American tradition. No matter how callous it is, it just is. It's actually a coping mechanism that works pretty well.

I don't disagree. I think some of us were just trying to express how bad it is over there. What they are doing is something much different than callous humor. It's more than that and you know it.

Hey Dean....

Sorry about the loss of your freind and the Other one's Daughter. I'll send prayers their way.

As far as using humor to cope....it's what split my Family in half after my Brother's House burned to the ground and my Mom died.

What ever works for some doesn't work to well for others sometimes I guess.

I'm listening to country music, drinking, and watching college basketball. I feel bad for what happened to the people over there, but as Dean said, I can't really do anything except text REDCROSS to some number and donate $10 (which I will NOT be doing). Instead I'll use that $10 to buy a hot drink at the bar tonight.

Also I just found a quarter in the dryer, that's how you know it's going to be a good day.

Narita Airport...


Heather Powell, the wife of Limerick Patch editor David Powell, was preparing to travel home from a business trip to Tokyo when an earthquake of magnitude 8.9 struck off the Japanese coast. She provided the following account via telephone while stranded with colleagues at Narita Airport outside Tokyo.

"We arrived at (Narita Airport) at about 2:30 p.m. (Tokyo time, 12:30 a.m. EST).

"We walked in; there was no line. We checked in (quickly)."

As the group waited for the rest of its members to check in, the quake struck. Powell said a colleague who had previously experienced earthquakes was the first to realize what was happening.

"I heard the noise before I felt the shaking. It was just this rumbling. It knocked you off your feet a little bit. We stood there for a minute until the worst of it passed. Then, the (airport counter staff) and airport police started yelling for people to get out of the building.

"We saw people bolting for the doors. You could hear the glass windows of the front of the terminal rattling," Powell said.

"They wanted people away from the glass canopies and away from the building. They wanted us to walk all the way down the ramp to the parking lot."

"After an hour and a half, it was getting cold, and it was going to rain, so they herded us over to the glass canopy leading into the building, and they allowed us onto the first floor, which they said was secure and safe. But there was damage in other parts of the building, so they wanted us to stay on the first floor."

"Eventually, they started calling people who had either landed or checked in for flights to come get their bags. They were letting people into the baggage claim area to get their bags."

"Then, they came around with bottled water and sleeping bags. They did not have enough sleeping bags for everybody. They told everyone that if they did not have a sleeping bag, they should 'use their outfit' (to sleep on)."

"It was very orderly. There was no fighting. There was no panic."

"They left the doors open on the first floor, so it was freezing in there. They eventually told us they'd secured the rest of the building and allowed us to come upstairs, where it's much warmer."

Powell described airport staff as extremely helpful and accommodating.

"At one point, (a colleague) and I walked to the ladies restroom. There was a line, and an attendant led those of us waiting outside the restroom to the immigrations area, where there was an (unoccupied) bathroom."

Powell said all passengers have been told that they must remain at the airport.

"The roads are closed. There's no way to get in and out [of the airport]."

She said her group was in generally good spirits.

"We're tired and we're cranky, but we're laughing. We're kind of slap happy at this point. We're waiting for the McDonald's to open. The Starbucks was the only thing open, and they were only serving coffee and tea."

Powell said the airport has not lost power during the ordeal, but that she has had limited access to conventional media.

"There are a couple of TVs around showing Japanese language news broadcasts," she said.

Powell said she had mostly been keeping track of events via her Twitter account.

Despite numerous reports of cell phone communication network difficulties, Powell said her group had had relatively little trouble communicating with the outside world.

"AT&T (customers are) fine. The Verizon people can't get anything," Powell said.

During the interview, Powell was interrupted twice by aftershocks, one of which Powell said was measured at magnitude 6.6.

A short time later, the stranded travelers were informed via public address that the first flight announced since the quake, a Lufthansa flight, had been scheduled for 4:10 p.m. Saturday (2:10 a.m. EST).

Scientists South of Tulsa Track Huge Quake in Japan

The gauges and monitors went crazy. On duty at the Oklahoma Geological Observatory in Leonard south of Tulsa on Thusday night was research scientist Amie Gibson. She said she was watching something she had never seen before. Gibson said all the seismic readings "capped out". She said the needles showed the earthquake that hit Japan was huge. Gibson said while amazed at the readings she was also sick to realize the numbers meant people were being killed. The quake and resulting tsunami killed hundreds of people and hundreds more remain missing. Gibson pointed out that a few hours after the earthquake in Japan there was a much smaller one in central Oklahoma near the town of Harrah. Recalling a recent earthquake that caused devastation in Chile, Gibson said that was also followed shortly by a quake in Oklahoma that measured 4.4 on the scales. Gibson is now studying these seismic echos and wonders if an earthquake in one part of the world can set off earthquakes on the other side of the Earth. Right now she believes they can.

Nearly 70,000 stranded overnight at Tokyo Disneyland

The massive earthquake that struck Japan on Friday stranded 69,000 people at Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea after damaged roads and transportation interruptions forced visitors to camp overnight in 30-degree temperatures.

While the theme parks experienced some quake damage, there were no reports of any injuries. Disney employees provided blankets, heaters and raincoats to visitors who were required to shelter in place and prohibited from leaving the park because of safety concerns.

Japan Earthquake Predicted To Cause Semiconductor Shortages


The massive 8.9 earthquake that has caused widespread devastation in Japan is expected to cause worldwide shortages and severe price swings in some semiconductors manufactured in the island nation, according to some analysts.

The electronics expected to be most affected by the 8.9 quake that struck Friday include semiconductor wafers used in making microprocessors, NAND flash used for storing music, video, and other content in handheld devices, and DRAM, which is the system memory in PCs. More than 40% of the world's NAND and 15% of the world's DRAM are made in Japan, according to market researcher Objective Analysis

on top of everything else they lost a lot of arable land due to debris and all the chemicals that will settle on the farmland. Obvious more of a long term problem though.
