Its pretty much done at this point...major brunt of the tsunami is now propogating out. Okinawa (furthest southern islands towards Taiwan) just got hit by a tsunami 30 mins ago. Nothing happened, watching the local news with the live feed they have on the water and nothing. All's quiet down here.

A31CEFIRO · 03-11-2011, 02:16 AM

If anyone has friends or family in the kanagawa are thats where im at now its not bad. Just aftershocks an phones are down I hope that will help some of you out.

thoughtless · 03-11-2011, 02:16 AM

from what i hear wake island might be hit in 20 mins.... if that happens hawaii will probably be hit as well. for those who might want to know whats going on in hawaii im looking here Honolulu Civil Beat - LIVE BLOG: Hawaii Tsunami - Post

god bless everyone thats dealing with this.

*TheRealSy90* · 03-11-2011, 02:21 AM

Entire west coast of the United States has just been issued a tsunami warning.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 03-11-2011, 02:21 AM

And Okinawa got hit with a whopping 20cm as the official tsunami measurement. If you dont have an idea how tall 20 cm is. Stack 2 cigarette packs and you're almost up to 20cm.

One_love_silvia · 03-11-2011, 02:24 AM

oh man this is so insane and so sad. i hope everyone is going to be ok in hawaii and other pacific islands. waves are sposed to be higher than some islands...
as for japan, i hope everyone is okay and my heart goes out to everyone. already 19 confirmed dead =( so sad...

ima be SOOOOOOO pissed if the USA doesnt help japan out. idgaf if were in a war and dont have the money, that never stopped us from helping out haiti and chili and shit. and this is the 5th most powerful earthquake EVER RECORDED in history.

If that's the case, we shouldn't be getting anything over here.

Taiwan is getting hit in 10 minutes.

Okinawa isn't in the direct path of the tsunami.

You do realize we have a bunch of US Military Bases in Japan with one of their purpose of being here is to help Japan in times like this?

So is Taiwan. Doubt anything is gonna happen to Hawaii, either. Last Tsunami warning that came down, we got 2 ft here in Okinawa and Hawaii got like 20cm.

I'm curious to know if they actually got the Tsunami Warning out to the areas that got affected, specially Sendai. From the videos we saw, I'm thinking not so effectively. I saw way too many folks getting balled over by water as they're trying to escape in their cars. Right now, they're confirming 19 people dead and hundreds missing. I wouldnt be surprised if the total goes over 500 people killed.

yes i do realize this. but im sure theyre gunna need a lot more than what we have.

jdm2191 · 03-11-2011, 02:36 AM

The West Coast is in ADVISORY I guess thats the second level above a warning....I cant believe this happen crazy stuff going on in the world now-a-days....

*fliprayzin240sx* · 03-11-2011, 02:38 AM

Folks up north are getting double shafted. Tsunami just swept your house away, sun sets and now its snowing with predicted temperature dipping below freezing.

ILoveMyRHS13 · 03-11-2011, 02:40 AM

Yeah, Powervehicles.com is up by Ebisu and here are pictures from them and it's snowing.

*handinpants* · 03-11-2011, 02:45 AM

you all realize that there will be a whole bunch of sea water sr20dets, and rb engines going on the market as soon as they figure out where they all swam to. i feel bad for the people who were in wheel chairs in the tsunami Zone

Yeah, my wife is in the Aomori prefecture. Snow still on the ground and no power. She said that she has plenty of blankets on hand just in case the power doesn't come on soon

*fliprayzin240sx* · 03-11-2011, 02:54 AM

Well, its now bumped up to 8.8-8.9 earthquake at a depth of 24km (shallow as hell), 150 km from Sendai and this is now officially the strongest recorded earthquake to strike Japan. In retrospect, the this earthquake is rated 100x stronger than the Kobe earthquake. This earthquake is now #7 in intensity in recorded times.

They're saying now that the deathtoll is going to be high. It took the waves 15-20 mins from the time the earthquake happened to strike Sendai.

*Wake* · 03-11-2011, 02:54 AM

My heart goes out to anyone affected by the disaster. And supposedly cali is supposed to get hit with waves at 8am

I was in the loma prieta quake here in '89 and that shit was no joke and it was only a 6.9. I cant imagine the scale of destruction a quake that powerful is going to have on a area as populated at Tokyo.

Im glad I already have my SR's

BustedS13 · 03-11-2011, 03:04 AM

okay, so this is pretty serious. i have a friend doing the jet program, she's in hokkaido. did they get fucked, too? i don't know the regions and whatnot.

Depends on where she's at in Hokkaido. If she's on the south-southeast of the island, then she faced the brunt of it.

But Jason's wife is in Misawa (further south of Hokkaido and closer to Sendai), if they're fine down there, figured Hokkaido would be okay too.

MisawaJason · 03-11-2011, 03:19 AM

exactly. If they're fine in Hachinohe, they're definitely fine in hokkaido

Dont know if you know Old_GC8 Rich, he's still having a hard time getting ahold his in-laws from up there in Misawa.

Got another guy who was stationed here and PCS'd up there but is back here for NCOA...finally got ahold of his wife not long ago. Guess he's been trying to get thru for the last 3 hrs.
