O/T: Japan hit with 8.8 magnitude earthquake

[mass_chaos]

All the folks I know in Japan are safe and sound. All of Japan is in our prayers.
Thats some of the most serious devastation I have seen in my life time.

We are still having aftershocks, problems with nuclear reactors, water and food is disapearing, gas is being rationed and we are looking at rolling blackouts. There is anoter tsunami warning for Northern Japan.

Very strong quake with tons of aftershocks. Biggest in over 100 years.

I was actually downstairs in the office clinic when it started. The nurses, doc and I looked at each other trying to figure out how serious this one is. It got stronger and stronger and kept going. Soon the first big one calmed down and the doc and I peeked outside the door to look a the 3rd floor lobby as there was a terrible racket out there.
The core of the building (where my newly wedded wife was still up on 19F) was shill shaking and caused the marble tiles on the floor and walls the buckle. The floor joint kept churning and spitting out marble bits. Lot of noise.
Met up with my co-workers outside and after a head count some of us went home. Wife and I walked how. Fortunately our place is only 30 mins from the office.

FINALLY HAD TO SCROLL TO SEE THIS.
I am VERY glad to hear you are doing fine, bro.

At least the Japanese people are very civilized, hard working, and intelligent. They will be able to recover from this and be back to normal in short order. You at least know with the Japanese that they arent going to use this disaster as an excuse to loot and rape. contrast this disaster with Haiti and New Orleans and you will see a massive difference.

:yeahthat:

Wow man!!!! Your first time home? Where have you been since Friday? What Prefecture do you live in? Was the home okay when you got there?

 

[inevitable]

and the aftermath is only getting worse

 

[FilthyMick]

WTF is with all the natural disasters in the world??? Its getting out of control out there!!

many online folks are wondering if HAARP could play a role in something this catastrophic and coincidentally so close in time to other natural disasters happeneing around the world.

recently moved in Aomori-ken to be closer to my job...my house is about 3km from the ocean and only about 2Km from where the tsunami waters stopped....I was lucky.

Well, this thread turned to shit fast. Guess its time for me to unsubscribe from this. Its too bad, I felt like this was a good place to come and get comments from people that live over there and are going through this terrible disaster and instead all I am seeing now is racial comments.

The western news has a tendency to make mistakes. Check out this site for a better rundown on what's going on in English: **broken link removed**

Although this is a horrible incident, everyone needs to remember that for a large part of the country, it's work as usual. Outside of eastern (specifically north-eastern) Honshu, there is little to no damage and there's no Chernobyl-level radiation threat.

In two weeks I have my wedding and had to convince my friends and family that it's still safe to come out since they are panicking by what they see on CNN.

Yeah bro, you are so right about the Western News. I believe it is because tragedy breeds ratings and ratings bring money. We here in Kanagawa prefecture was exposed to about as much radiation as a dental x-ray and the news made it seem like it was time to leave Japan.

People seem divided about whether or not to put distance between themselves and Tokyo.

I saw someone running outside on the right at about :20 I hope he or she made it:

Best place for real info:
**broken link removed**

*US Embassy has advised people to stay 50 miles from reactors as opposed to Japan gov's 12.
*US Embassy has told non-essential personal they can leave assisted. IE the gov will help fly them out. If you are a US citizen and cannot get your own transport out they will help.
*No real concerns down here in Tokyo unless the reactors catch file and send ash from building materials up and out...
*Rolling blackouts continue. Central Tokyo where I am unaffected.
*All South-Easter Japan however may experience blackouts because too much power is being consumed
*Many people are heading South


My X took my daughter South to Kyushu but I don't know where...

I went to immigrations yesterday to renew my visa and there were over a thousand people there trying to get re-entry permits at the last minute. 1000 in a place that usually sees maybe 50. Insanity.
