Tokyo just got smacked hard. Still feeling tremors. Refrigerator broken, glass everywhere. I'm safe.
Other Japan FReepers check in!!
Guam was a concern of mine too. The Island high point is around 400 meters, I believe. A lot of the island is quite low as I understand it.
Just reported 6 ft waves above sea level at wake Island and Midway..I think is what he said...
It is an oil refinery about 10-15 miles from me.. (Chiba City, Chiba)
Damn. They don’t have many feet above sea level to give.
I thought I heard that they expect the tsunami
to be at Guam/Midway area in about an hour.
I think he said the waves were 6 ft above
normal .. but I’m not sure if that was in
Japan or where.
You’re probably right. That was one heck of a jolt.

Utility reports fire at turbine building at nuclear power plant in northeastern Japan - AP

That’s what I thought.
I have 3 things going...so had to drop one, confusing myself LOL. Well it is late...
That is a good sign.
The Navy would certainly move ships further out to sea if they were worried about a powerful tsunami.
Went out to walk dog- came back and heard on tv that there’s a fire at one of Japan’s nuke plants...
A nuke plant, not a gas plant?
Good news for a time like this....
“All U.S. service members accounted for after Japan quake; no reports of damage to U.S. installations - Pentagon spokesman via NBC News”
Thank you, God!
That’s what the headline says on the crawl...think it was FOX
Live video wave height predictions for Hawaii will be coming up in a few minutes. This is a link to local TV.

1:50 am PST - “A tsunami warning has been issued for the central and northern California coast and Oregon, the National Weather Service announced early Friday.
In the San Francisco Bay Area, an emergency warning system announcement for a tsunami warning was braodcast just after 1 a.m. Waves could begin arriving in Crescent City, Calif., at 7:23 a.m. and the Bay Area shortly after 8 a.m.
A lower-level tsunami advisory was issued for the Southern California coast south of Point Concepcion, which includes southern San Luis Obispo County and the counties of Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego.
....A tsunami advisory means a tsunami capable of producing strong currents or waves dangerous to anyone in or very near the water is expected, but widespread inundation is not expected.
Still, currents may be hazardous to swimmers and boats, the weather service said.
The waves were expected to hit Santa Barbara at 8:17 a.m. and Santa Monica and San Pedro harbors at 8:32 a.m....”
I think the big fire in the news is at an oil refinery. The last I heard is that the nuke plant is shut down as a precaution, but no electrical power means less water to keep the nuke rods cool. But it sounded like backup systems were working. (I HOPE that is still the latest!?)

Tsunami Hits Japan After 8.9 Megaquake
Excerpt:
A 33ft tsunami
is reported to have killed at least 26 people as it swept over Japan’s northeastern coast after a 8.9 magnitude megaquake near the capital Tokyo.
The huge wave hit the port of Sendai city, sending ships crashing into the shore and carrying cars and buildings through streets.
Mass evacuations are taking place after tsunami warnings were issued for the entire Pacific coast.
Dear Lord ... 33 ft!
Must sleep .. prayers
