Earthquake in Japan
« on: March 10, 2011, 08:32:54 PM »
I'm getting various reports of a 8.4 or even an 8.9 magnitude quake that hit northeastern Japan.  A resulting tsunami has been sweeping up dirt, debris, cars, houses, fires and moving them across the land.  It is amazing, and not in a good way.  I hope our Japanese friends are OK.

I too hope everyone is ok.

Japan seems very well equipped for earthquakes.  I was there in 2007 on vacation, and there was an earthquake that was "worse" than the one in Haiti.  My hotel barely even moved.

Where I was in central Tokyo everything is OK. Pretty crazy shakes, but no major damage. I hope nobody here lives closer to the coast...

Thank god. Kaku said it was the worst quake in Japan's history meaning worse than the great Kanto quake. I guess modern engineering wins the day. Not to be glib but, I was having Nightmare visions of Super Patato smashed flat.

I am so glad everyone is alright on the board (so far)

I hope all the OBEYers are okay and that they (the gov't) get the nuclear plants under control before any giant monsters are created.

My thoughts and prayers are with any of you hard hit by this devastating quake. Glad to know those who have already posted are fine. I am glad that Tokyo seems to have been spared by the worst of it. I do worry though for our gaming giants like Miyamoto, etc. though. I pray that they are fine.

last time I watched the news about this whole story was when I was on my 15 minute break at work.

I understand the tsunami spread toward the West Coast US. I know Hawaii took quite a hit, but what about on the mainland?

Some people at work are located in Japan offices, and they said shit was a MESS.    The buildings were still wobbling 30 minutes later.... though they all said the buildings they were in , its a side to side earth quake and the buildings were designed to cope with it... so there was lots of wobbling, and things falling, but they were OK after....

still, not every part of the earthquake area was this lucky, and that sucks.

San Fran got hit by like a 10 foot tall wave or something I heard, and Im sure all they did was get high and surf. :)

The great highway in SF along the beach, near Tatsujin's 'Cliff House', was shut down, but nothing serious happened in SF. Santa Cruz and Crescent City were hit harder. I heard about some boats in Santa Cruz and a few people being swept out to sea, 4 of 5 were rescued from what I heard.

I sent messages to takuya of Hit-Japan, who operates out of Hokkaido, where there were a lot of fires, but he said he's doing ok, as is Toshi of Japan Toys and Video Games.

We haven't heard from ccovell have we? Hope he and his family are ok.

As of right now (10:17pm PST) authorities are still working on cooling 4-5 nuclear plants!!
