Word of potential tsunami to hit coast of Japan in same vicinity as prior the ocean has receeded 5 meters from the coast - which is a predecessor to such an event - expecting 11am japan time - 2 place iwata and miyagi ken - my wife is telling me that they are saying it may be a rebound from the california wave. They also had a mag 5 within that past hour that could have predicated it. Prayers up folks they have a number of rescue personnel in harms way if this occurs.
Sorry if this sounds a bit disjointed trying to get info out as quickly as possible
most likely to occur as early as 10 minutes from now or as late as 30 minutes from now.
Crap. Those poor people.... I hope this is a false alarm.
Link to live broadcast of Japanese news through CNN. Reporting on it now:

Currently saying that wave is in the 2-3M range .
Better to hit where it has already hit and where people aren’t living than to destroy yet another town.
The tsunami could reach the coast in around 15 minutes, according to firefighter helicopters - NHK 2 minutes ago via TweetDeck
The Pacific basin is a bit large for a seiche, isn’t it?
Adam Housley just announced this on FOX.
Pray for Japan!

God help Japan, and keep them out of harm’s way.
They’ve had constant aftershocks, one was a 6.2 a short while ago. The Japanese NHK newsroom was shaking.
Hopefully won’t mess up the nuke plants further - they already have their hands full. Prayers for the poor people caught up in all this. Even if the wave doesn’t hit they don’t need the emotional trauma. If it does hit, words fail me.
Sounding the alarm here, and calling for evacuations.

the Freeper clock is only 6 minutes fast. Do they use EDT as the time? Not easy to tell.
Another location is seeing 2m recession of ocean water - so different location different impacts.
Ping.
