EARTHQUAKE!!! TOKYO HIT HARD

ME!!! | March 11, 2011 | Ronin

[Ronin]

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

Other Japan FReepers check in!!

[flaglady47]

“Hope Guam doesn’t flip over.”

That’s funny, hehhehehheh. Most won’t get that. Nicely subtle.

[Islander7]

The height of the wave on Guam is supposed to be an early indication of how bad things will be in Hawaii

I'm more interested in Midway Island, but can't find anything online about it.

Please keep me posted on Guam.

What is CNN? Oh yeah that’s where that teabagger Anderson works...

[EternalVigilance]

Brand new headline at the link I just posted:

BREAKING NEWS: Tsunami warning in effect until 11 p.m.; Guam not in the clear

http://www.guampdn.com/article/20110311/NEWS01/110311016

[SE Mom]

(((PM))) I know...

Get a nap at least.

[STARWISE]

WoW ... that IS a lot.

[DCBryan1]

LOL...i got a good chuckle out of that, and it was much needed. The footage of Japan is just heartbreaking...watching the waters sweep away unsuspecting and fleeing vehicles. Prayers for Japan.

[Retired Greyhound]

Bikkuri-san, are you safe?

My prayers are with you

[Rennes Templar]

“to hear about the Charlie Sheen raid.”

Raid?

[Straight Vermonter]

The front page of that site says the warning for Guam will last another 6.5 hours.

[21twelve]

I hope that the small size of the islands and shape of the sea floor leading up to the small islands will reduce the wave height - but I’m not sure. A tsunami occurs when all that volume of water has to fit into a smaller space because of the upsloping seabed. But perhaps (????) with a small island, there is enough room off to the sides of the island for the water to move to so it doesn’t get quite as deep on shore as would be for a large land mass.

[EternalVigilance]

Yeah.

[Islander7]

Thanks

[Straight Vermonter]

Doh! You beat me to it.

[Eye of Unk]

For all of its faults CNN does have a larger overseas staff than FOX.

Taipei seems to be getting something right now on CNN.

[Freddd]

After watching that tsunami tonight, roll over Japan....
I wouldn’t bet on it. But I’m hoping for all of the pacific it’s not going to be as bad as I’m fearing it could be.

[Freddd]

They haven’t gotten anything ‘right’ in years.

3:37 amby Yoree KohAdd a Comment At Tokyo Station, the electronic schedule board for the Tohoku-Yamagata-Akita trains are blank aside from the word, “adjustment.” One despondent male commuter turns to his friend and says, “I guess I’ll see how far my legs take me.”

3:33 amby Daisuke WakabayashiAdd a Comment In transit heading northbound from Tokyo:

The roads are not moving at all. The people streaming by who are walking are moving faster than those of us in cars. The car navigation systems are indicating that almost all entry points to the highway are closed. Children are walking back from school, some wearing protective head gear that resemble a cone.

3:19 amby Hiroyuki KachiAdd a Comment “Our building shook badly and I felt like I was in an old-type night train decades ago,” said a 45-year-old worker at a brokerage house near the Tokyo Stock Exchange building, which was constructed more than 70 years ago. “The stock trading was still going on...and we didn’t jump out as we thought dangerous outside.”

In the Nihonbashi district of central Tokyo, more than 100 people were waiting for bus services to western parts of Tokyo, with subway and other railway services suspended. “I don’t know how long I will have to spend to go back home,” said a housewife in her 60s, who was standing at the end of the line before the bus stop.
