Japan hit by 8.8 magnitude quake - major tsunami event underway

[Adoptedscot]

This is unreal, I can't turn the TV over from watching all unfold.

They just showed the gradual waves hitting Hawaii right now and the rumoured update in Japan is that 2 to 300 bodies have been washed up in the North

My thoughts are with everyone affected by this, get running, head for the hills and be safe.

Horrible news. Stay safe fellas.

Horrible news indeed. The wave is supposed to reach almost every country in the Pacific. South America included.

Stay safe everyone.

 

[FLOSI]

Holy crap! Just woke up to the news! Stay safe freaks!

Wholy Sheeet Tsunamis again I feel bad for them , i hope that dude that makes those sick ass Zombies is ok

Lot of horrifying footage out there yet it is hard to not take it all in.

There was a massive whirlpool video that I saw as well.

I just heard the news on the radio this morning on my way to work. Unreal! How tragic! Sending my condolences to the people in Japan and other areas being affected.

Not the first time said but get high California...the waves are coming. Japan has a Nuclear Plant with a failing cooling system, if they can't get it restored or shut down it's big trouble, they are evacuating the area around it.

[Darthrazz]

OMG! hang in there fellow freaks, get to high ground!! My thoughts and prayers are with you. Be Safe!!!

I have a friend over in Japan for work. He was in Tokyo, mind you he is born and raised in Socal and he said he has never felt anything like it. They ended up having to walk 8 miles back to downtown from facility to get to hotel, then up 23 flights of stairs to get to his room. There have been a couple good sized aftershocks.

I know we are on Tsunami watch here but not worried, I am about a mile from beach but the waves can't get to us.

I have donated to the Red Cross. Please guys, donate to your preferred disaster relief fund. This quake/tsunami is devastating and NOT JUST ON A SOCIO-ECONOMIC level. There will be tremendous loss of life.

They just called off the tsunami warning for the Philippines. Pretty amazing and terrible stuff. I have family in Japan and a cousin who was in the air on her way to Japan when the earthquake hit. Just great and terrible.

The really scary thing about this whole ordeal is that the power to one of their nuclear power plants has been destroyed. They switched to a back up and that broke. They are now using diesel power to keep the core cool but its not enough so they are evacuating people within a 2 mile radius of that plant for fear that the plant is going to experience a meltdown.

Hope all your people in Japan are OK Marc, it's pretty scary watching the footage here even being so far away from it all.

 

[Kuzeh]

Man, this is just scary...
sad news indeed...

 

[Kamandi]

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says the Air Force is fast-tracking coolant to Japan for that reactor.

I hope there aren't any aftershocks to make things worse.

My heart goes out to Japan.
