This new one is 6 you say?

Yeah, but Fukashima was hundreds of times stronger, nearly a 9.

The 9.0 was Tohoku EQ which sent the tsunami into Fukushima

Estimated arrival times are listed here, as of this post it is 05:13 JST so if there is anything happening it's happening more or less right now.

I don't think we will see anything significant as far as a large tsunami goes, though I don't doubt a small event will probably wash up. Maybe a foot, two feet. Large quake, fairly shallow, but no monster. (8+)

Hoping this isn't a foreshock of something bigger to come....

It's really early in the morning over their right now....I hope everyone gets out of bed and gets moving.

Not quite. The big one was 9.1 Mw and 2,818 times stronger, i.e. thousands of times stronger.

Difficult to get ones head round!

Hope this helps.

I look at these often. MHO, It doesn't seem to be too concerning, considering the wave heights.

That was something to look at. I know it may not have actually been a long duration one but it looked like it. I guess since the tsunami has passed we are out of the danger zone.

A little aftershock of 4.6 popped up on my computer. But I didn't see the plant shake so that's a relief.

If I am doing my math correctly, that only a little over a half a foot.

Yep....not big enough to do any damage thankfully.

Tsunami sirens went off in town of Miyagi.

Looks like a scene from some spooky movie.

eta: Pheww, ok, better safe than sorry with that sirens...

For I second I thought I'd gone insane, because I didn't remember posting in this thread. And then I realized we're just using the same avatar.

Great minds and all that ...

It's cancelled now. There was a small one

I just posted this in fragile earth

Six inches of sea water means replacing a lot of floors. You have to get new wall boards have the place professionally cleaned. Not life threatening but costly and inconvenient. Here in the US floods are not covered by homeowners insurance. You need flood insurance specifically. I don't know how homeowners insurance works in Japan or if they even have such a thing. a reply to: Vasa Croe

i think those smoldering reactors are more off an issue than minor flood damage here.

it never reached anyhow did it?
