Tsunami hits japan

[Nai]

Looks like a biggy, 8.4 earthquake out in the sea north of tokyo. Videos of it coming in are pretty epic.

Hetz i hope your kid and missus are alright if they are still over there.

[pinkyfloyd]

Thanks Nai, they're back here. They're on Skype to the family in Osaka, everyone there is ok. Poor sods north of Tokyo though, that wave was consuming everything.

They reckon its the wave is going to hit Tiawan within the next 30 minutes and Hawaii in a couple of hours. Looks like I'll be watching the news in a few hours. Bet some mad hawaiian dude is out with his board!

Can you imagine being on one of the Pacific Islands being told that in an hour the Tsunami will hit, and it's higher than the island you live on?


Fffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[pinkyfloyd]

Agreed. Some scary stuff that is.

I remember being sat on Koi Samui beach with my mate at about 5 in the morning just as the sun was about to come up and I said imagine with all this partying going on, you looked out to see and just saw a huge tsunami wave coming towards you.... sent a shiver down my spine. I had a nightmare where I was swallowed up by a tsunami once as well, one of those that feels so real you still need a minute after waking up to check that THAT isn't the dream....really wouldn't want to experience once in real life...

The video looks like something from 2012, very scary.

Wow.

Thoughts are with the folk in the area right now.

[kawashima]

I'm fine thanks. Mid area was ok. (I live near Nagoya).
North area suffered huge damage.
I'm now watching TV news and they are trying to stop nuclear power stations but they can't cool and can't stop it .
Now I found a TV telop saying that my area is issued an evacuation advisory due to Tsunami .

[Visitor Q]

On a separate point, when did we outsource news readers.

I'm great at bad English, and this is completely gibberish

Loss of life doesn't seem that bad so far, just totalled a lot of buildings. The Japanese are slightly more community minded than the Yanks. Give it a year and everything will be bigger and prettier there.

Still sad though.

Stay safe kawashima

We've got most of our office sat on the ground at Nagoya airport, they were supposed to be in Tokyo but missed the earthquake by 10 mins and got diverted.

[Fisty]

Eeeek! thats scary, there is a vid of what looks like a navy type boat being washed away. Very scary. Glad your family is safe Hetz.

Its just been upgraded to an 8.9, 7th strongest on record ever.

The currents from the tsunami have created a huuuuuuge whirlpool, vid here:-

On the topic of nuclear power stations and obviously we have the luxury of hindsight. But does it not appear extremely short sighted to build Nuclear Power stations in an earthquake sensitive area?!
