An 8.9-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Japan caused fatalities, injuries and damage, then it triggered a ten-meter-high tsunami higher than many islands in the area when I walked into work this morning.
As we watch the images from live Japanese television, I can only think that Japan is one of the countries where you’ll have the best chance to survive earth quakes and natural disasters. If anyone can pull through it, it’s the Japanese!
The latest is that the tsunamis are sweeping across the Pacific, toying with island societies that are lower than the up to 10 metres standing waves. Let’s hope the alert and early warning systems are working and as many people are saved as possible. Here are some of the more shocking images:
I circled a bus to emphasise the scale of it
A person waving from her house to the helicopter
A maelstrom outside Japan. This is not the boat reported on.
Measuring the cracks.. These forces are enormous
So far it seems a lot of the countries in the Pacific have gotten off scott free, as the waves are scaling down with a maximum of 2m height in Hawaii (see wave map). You can watch the BBC Live coverage here.
Hang in there and hang onto something! You’re on our minds!
You can never be ready for that kind of tsunamis.
You can prepare and prepare but that doesn’t mean that you will master or control mother nature. But I think it’s obvious the disaster training has saved quite a few Japanese lives these last four days!
True that.
The magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck at 2:46:24 and sixth tenths seconds pm epicenter time on March 11, 2011 was correctly predicted in great detail and by epicenter. I personally published the epicenter 1000x individually before March 11, 2011 specifically for cunts and I am still not fucking yours so Google the quote “Divisible by 3 times 3” in quotes with the quote “at 2:46 pm” and you will understand why that “9.0” magnitude was not announced immediately. (The early estimate of magnitude 8.9 was later revised upward to an exactly magnitude 9.0 “divisible by 3 times 3” and is in fact mathematically the single rarest thing ever correctly forecast in the history of humanity or not I still made the pope retire you dumb cunt. Nancy Reagan’s astrologer can suck a dick. You, Silvia Brown and Dr. Phil have a special place in hell) This “non comprehension” mathematically while branding me crazy after they branded me crazy will be the only thing your existence is even remembered for. The March 11 event was felt as far away as Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia; Kao-hsiung, Taiwan; and Beijing, China. It was preceded by several fore shocks, including the 03/09 magnitude-7.2 event that at 03:03 and centered approximately 25 miles (40 km) away from the epicenter of the main quake exactly where “The Great Japan Earthquake” The “June 15, 1896” occurred. Hundreds of aftershocks, dozens of magnitude 6.0 or greater and two of magnitude 7.0 or greater, followed in the days and weeks after the main quake. (A year later, on December 7, 2012, a magnitude-7.3 tremor originated from the same plate boundary region. The quake caused no injuries and little damage but was historically right after my published quote about shaking some dirty Japs on December 7th after I published “June 15, 1896” 1000x individually for cunts)
