NoobtoSalt Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Not sure if anyone is watching the news right now but it sounds like they might have had the biggest earthquake in recent time. It was first stated to be a 7.9 but they have now upped it to 8.8!! So with Tsunami's that are 10-15 feet high what does this do to the reef's and livestock in the ocean?

NoobtoSalt Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 If your not watching this on tv they just showed the most depressing live video of the tsunami coming inland in Japan. Looks like a lot of people are going to be injured or dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsonmfg Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 They're saying the tsunami will potentially hit Hawaii just after 3:00am There are warnings for Indo, the Marshall Islands and most places... This is going to get a lot worse for all of these people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a lot of people are going to be injured or dead. I feel so sad for those people over there, i just donated $100 to the earthquake relief. It may not be much but better then nothing!

Arsonmfg Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 CNN is saying most people in Tokyo are fine, mostly cracked windows and walls. No real casualties there though except in an old factory where there was a fire. Most of the fires and flooding are confined to the N - NE coast. They just upped the quake to a 8.9!

reefcam Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Been in a 5.5 quake when I was in Japan. The earthquake hit just as I stepped out the elevator on the 25th floor. Was weird feeling the building sway side to side. I thought I was jet lagged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I stopped posting online last night and just watched the news for hours. I couldn't believe they were showing people in the cars getting swept away live. I know it's news but those were people in a lot of those cars too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberduck9 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Wow. This is horible! Japans people will be in my prayers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Tsunami Warning still out! They think the first wave has come ashore, mins ago. But the 8th wave is, or can be the most, dangerous. All this should happen within the next 2.5 Hrs. 5th largest earthquake in recorded history. Now rated 8.9 magnitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
