Tsunami causes major damage after
earthquake strikes just-off the NE coast...

A massive 8.9 magnitude quake has hit northeast Japan, subsequently bringing a 4m tsunami to long parts of the country's coastline. NHK television reported many injuries and showed pictures of major tsunami damage in the north, with cars, trucks, houses being swept away in Onahama city.
The earthquake rated a absolute maximum value of "7" on the Japanese scale. A 10m tsunami hit Sendai airport in the north-east. Military airplanes were flying over the worst-affected areas to assess the need for rescue efforts and an em,emergency cabinet meeting was under way.
The quake shook buildings in the capital for several minutes and sent people out onto the streets. Japan's NHK television showed black smoke billowing from a building in Odaiba, a suburb of Tokyo.
The quake that struck at 2:46pm was followed by a series of powerful aftershocks, including a 7.4-magnitude one about 30 minutes later. Tremors were felt as far away as in the Chinese capital, Beijing.

Its almost midnite here in Alaska, we have a tsunami advisory in effect down around Kodiak island, I have relatives there.
My cats were acting funny earlier, I was trying to go to sleep, got up, went to bathroom, cats were doing strange things, decided to check FR, saw the news and now TV is on watching FOX, very terrible images.

Our dog was all weirded out here in Washington state. But it was earlier in the day with 45 mph winds buffeting the house and branches hitting the roof and deck! Probably no relation!
There is a geologist in California that tries to predict EQ based on the number of “missing dog” ads in the paper! (Used to be on Art Bell a lot years ago!)

Woe to Nineveh !!
Touch not, or harm the God of Israel's beloved ISRAEL ! Neither touch the Lord's anointed one's the church, the body of Christ.
Think it not strange that floods will come, cities will be overwhelmed with floods.
Think it not strange when you see the Earth shaken, and see whole mountains crumble and the waters over flow them.
Think it not strange when you see the GOD of Israel ride the waves with his horse in his anger because you harmed his beloved one, his Israel.
Think it not strange when you see the Earth shaken and see world wide tsunamis.
Think it not strange when you see both the SUN and MOON stop in their place.
Think it not strange when you see the Earth shaken, that even the stars seem to move out of their place, along with the Sun and Moon.

Something whacky.... I went to the PNW webicorders (seismographs viewable on the web) to see what they saw with this quake. Almost all of them showed the point when it hit. But on the seimograph for Mt. Rainier at Camp Shurman, about 2.5 hours ahead of the 8.8, there was a swarm of tremors recorded. I looked at ALL of the webicorders listed, and there was NOTHING at ANY of them, only Camp Shurman.
Here's the address if you want to see.

I was kidding, as I think I’m safe in NY, but we do have minor earthquakes here, too, and it’s good to be forewarned by our pets.

Washington State has an Advisory, doesn’t it?
So your dog was also giving you an Advisory.

We could use some good news about now:
“All U.S. service members accounted for after Japan quake; no reports of damage to U.S. installations - Pentagon spokesman via NBC News”

Keep praying for everybody else.
