8.9 Quake hits off coast of Japan! Live Updates.

Horrendous. Just horrendous.

Biggest natural disaster in human history? Quite possibly...!

Japan has a population of 120 million in an area the size of the UK. Expect the death toll to be huge.

And now added to that, the nuclear reactor will likely meltdown. Expect this to cause a massive global depression over the next few years.

All MSM just say it will hit Hawaii within next few mins. Live cameras show nothing atm

KITV 4 in Hawaii still not mentioning anything, waiting on news of first hit.

It's so sad that all we can do is just sit and watch. I can't even begin to express the depth of sadness i feel at the moment.

FOXNEWS reporting that first wave hitting Hawaii is "only" 3 feet high.

2nd line.

Fantastic info with links - thank you so much for giving us levelheaded info and baking it up.
So - from what I can gleam from your post and the link - even though the reactor is shut down, there is still residual heat that needs to be dissipated and that is where the problem lies? I hope I've got that right - I'll go back to reading more now I just wanted to say thanks again for a great quality post - sands fear mongering and pro info links.

By the way, let me add RSOE is now adding Onagawa Nuclear Plant and Fukushima Prefecture, [Fukushima Nucelar Power Plant] as level 2 nuclear incidents.

peace

nice fearmongering, relax and have a drink. I'm sure it will be bad but not as bad as haiti or Katrina

BBC reporting 0.5m waves hitting Indonesia - unlikely they will cause any substantial damage, even there.

This has no bearing on wave height elsewhere though.

NBC is reporting a magnitude 5.4 aftershock in japan.

Philippines reporting no damage there

is there any live stream tracking the tsunami ?

I don't trust FOX. Something about them that just screams "untrustworthy". Personal preference though.

That's small compared with what they've been getting:

earthquake.usgs.gov...

LINK to where the tsunami estimate time of arrival will hit each area in the Pacific area including Alaska and California:

God be with you in this time of devastation....

I just saw that. CNN still isn't saying anything and neither is the Hawaii station. Fox may be reporting just regular waves.

The Japanese TV is warning of more aftershocks and maybe another Tsunami this is just unreal!

reply to post by jonibelle


they are having aftershocks every five mins.

i was even listening to some commentator who mentioned that there was a quake about 7.0 few days ago. then this 8.9 and there is even a tiny possiblity this 8.9 could be a pre-shock to a bigger one. hard to imagine.
