The US West Coast is bracing for a Tsunami!!! My heart goes out to all those people in Japan and Hawaii... :(
I'm thinking Hawaii, and us on the west coast avoided any issues.
That said, don't think I wasn't thinking about a surge of water coming into San Francisco Bay as I took the train through the transbay tube (from SF to East Bay) just before 8 am this morning.
Can't be said enough, thoughts to all in Japan and elsewhere in the east that are going through some horrible times.
It was a trip seeing the emergency broadcast thing late last nite about a tsunami warning here! I live right on the edge of the bay but glad that nothing has happened here.
It is heartbreaking to see what is happening in Japan. And apparently the earthquake lasted 4 MINUTES? The one we had here in '89 was like 10 seconds and it felt like an eternity. To experience an 8.9 for that long, those people must have felt liek they were going to die :( so scary.

the northridge quake was like 6 seconds and it seemed like 6 minutes...it's incomprehensible to me to ride out a quake that lasts 5 minutes
I have been trying to phone my dad (not in japan) but he's not picking up so i'm not sure what the status is on my family...
I went to sleep for a few hours after being up til 4am and it feels like i woke up to an even worse situation :(
I also woke up to a locked thread on the MT train about this... derailed by someone i'm not entirely surprised at.
Just want to thank everyone in here and everyone in here who also has family and friends over there thoughts are with you all! ♥

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
Anytime I see something like this I think about criminals involved in sex/human trafficking. It's Xmas day in Japan for some people. Natural disasters are like hunting season for criminals. If someone doesn't make it home it's assumed they died in the tsunami, when they could be alive and being shipped overseas to be someones sex or labour slave.
Another habit says it's in love with you
Another habit says its long overdue
Another habit like an unwanted friend
I'm so happy with my righteous self
Look how many quakes there are in the last 3 days that state "NEAR THE EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN"!
this morning watching the caltech news conference, they had their Richter scale up on a monitor and it's makes a noise whenever there was seismic activity...in the span of about 5 minutes, the thing almost never stopped going off...i can't imagine what it's like to be there

CRESCENT CITY, CA (AP) - Officials say the tsunami triggered by the massive earthquake in Japan has killed one person, swept three others out to sea and caused severe damage to the harbor in Crescent City, near the Oregon border.
ABC affiliate KDRV confirmed that the waves pulled the four out to sea late Friday morning. Two of the other people were found alive and one is still unaccounted for.
Del Norte County sheriff's spokesman Bill Stevens said most boats were pulled out of the harbor in preparation for Friday's tsunami, but 35 vessels that remained are crashing into one another and sinking.
The wooden docks also were breaking apart under the force of the waves.
Crescent City Councilwoman Kelly Schellong said the docks and harbor "are pretty much completely destroyed."
Stevens said the damage cost was estimated to be into the millions, and surges still are expected through the afternoon.
However, the waves have not gone over the 20-foot break wall at the harbor, and no serious injuries or home damage have been reported.
Santa Cruz
The Santa Cruz region experienced several surges in the harbor Friday morning following tsunami warnings that sucked some boats right out of the harbor.
The California Highway Patrol also issued several advisories regarding road closures in the area including Beach Drive and portions of Riverside. Also Highway 1 in Mendocino County 7 miles outside of Westport was closed.
The CHP also said there was some traffic congestion on southbound Highway 17 near Santa Cruz.
Gas stations in the area were reportedly jammed. Officials urged people to stay away from the shoreline. The Seaside State Park was also evacuated.
Ft. Bragg
Noyo harbor at Ft. Bragg on the Mendocino coast was evacuated Friday morning, according to local emergency officials. No damage had been reported.
Water was receding out of the harbor and surging back in stronger, said Shannon Barney, emergency coordinator for Mendocino. The increased wave activity was expected to continue for several hours and officials were warning residents a tsunami threat was still in effect.

My wife is Japanese - most of her family is around Hiroshima - minimal issues there. Her brother is a chef in Tokyo, said pots and pans were falling all around. When he was walking home during one of the aftershocks, said it felt like he was "walking on the deck of a boat".
I'm still waiting to hear from one of my wife's friends who lives in Sendai - right near the epicenter and where the tsunami was most serious. Phone lines still down...

This is really sad, we are so lucky that natural disasters here in Adelaide are slim to none but you just never know do you? I hope the best for them all, it must have been bloody scary.

Jones said the earthquake must have been caused on a very long fault – at least 300 or 400 miles long.
that just blows my mind...also that the force of the quake was equal to 350 megatons of explosives
Everyone one is just fine and taking a very deep breath that this tsunami did not hit Tokyo.

If any of you have ever seen the movie that we're not allowed to acknowledge exists, the music will remind of certain scenes in that movie.
It's very eerie.
Here is a list of 5.0M+ earthquakes ...
