Tokyo just got smacked hard. Still feeling tremors. Refrigerator broken, glass everywhere. I'm safe.

8.9

Looking at the USGS site, the aftershocks are hitting all over the place. Some quite close to the coast. All 5+ magnitude and up.

This may be going on for quite a while.

Yes.

[mware]

Good Lord, they can not pump water to cool the nuclear reactor.

OMG... OMG... how big was the one in Chile?

Magnitude 8.9 OMG!!!

Unreal videos coming out.

Prayers up for everyone affected.

Map of Japanese nuke plants. Looks like four that are in the neighborhood.

[txhurl]

Oh, no.

[Lees Swrd]

Funny thing is that guy was out with his cell phone doing a better job showing the damage around his neighborhood than the big time news agencies.

Sumatra ‘04 was an 8.9, too.

[rintense]

Wow... haven’t seem many images or video, but what I have seen was truly shocking. The tsunami on to of the rubble will make finding victims and bodies almost impossible. Some many never be found.

Sumatra ‘04 was an 8.9, too.

9.3

Japan: trying to fix nuclear plant cooling problem

Prayers for the people of Japan and all in harm's way.

[SE Mom]

Oh my lord! CNN just reported that the wave went up to 60 miles inland!

60? SIXTY MILES? I can't imagine that's possible...even 6 miles would be hard to grasp.

[SE Mom]

That’s bad...power’s out and they’re unable to cool the reactor.

This is a nightmare.

[Straight Vermonter]

The government has declared an emergency situation as a precaution but there was no radioactive leakage and no damage from the cooling problem was expected at this stage

Color me skeptical.

[Islander7]

BBC has excellent coverage.

[Straight Vermonter]

The entire island is only 60 miles wide near Sendai so I think someone made a mistake.
