Wow thats one crazy earthquake, you see in the video in the first link all the buildings and cars floating in the water like toys or lego bricks in a big sea of water.

Sorry to anyone that had Family in Japan

Side Note: Nooooooo! there goes my anime and anime related goods.

I bet the whales and dolphins are behind the tsunami.

 

More importantly, the denim!

I can't believe how powerful mother nature is sometimes. That is really unfortunate. But, them be the risks living so close to the ocean.

 

ya its bad int hat are but frm what I know the body count will get up to like 500+

 

That's insane, 8.9 magnitude. The worst earthquake in Japan's history!

 

i thin the last known big one was like what 150 yrs ago

 

Kobe around 15-20 years ago.

 

the roof has blown off one of the reactors..I imagine its a meltdown ..they have not called it that..yet.

the other reactor is still not under control..that one too will blow.

 

Meltdown unlikely. Seems it was a hydrogen explosion or the smoke would be highly radioactive, which it apparently isn't.

 

Yeah the power of the elements is an amazing thing. Sometimes for the better, sadly it can also be for the worse.

 

You don't know that for sure.

 

It was in one of the reports that the last known strong one was like 100+ yrs ago, Not to sure how far ago it was but its what they say

 

Japan had an earth quake in 1923, it was 7.9 and killed over 140 000 people.
