If you're still awake in the US, turn on CNN or Fox News and check this out - Japan got rocked by an 8.9 earthquake, triggering several tsunamis that are sweeping across parts of the country. The footage is absolutely insane and downright scary...

It's already...? So wait, someone's trying to use that as a troll? Seesh, don't people have any kind of morales?

Don't worry Cy, I'm not accusing you of anything. It just seems sad that someone out there had to pull something like this.

People on the Internet are assholes; News @ 11. I've been staying away from jerkwad outlets. No need to read any of the garbage some people have been spewing forth.

Anyhoo, the bad news is that the Fukushima plant is confirmed by Japanese authorities to be leaking radioactive vapors. The good news is that Red Cross has already set up an online donation fund directly catered to the relief effort in Japan, so if you want to donate, there's one outlet for you.

Good ol' diesel! :o)

There are now reports of an entirely separate 6.6 earthquake on the other side of the country. That's just nuts.

I read that, it was in Central Japan... I feel sorry for all of the Japanese, this is terrible. The extra quake just adds salt into the wounds.

Good to be back
This is all insane... I've been hearing about all of this and my thoughts really do go out to all those souls out there... I can only hope for the best, but I don't know what that is.

Also, I know this forum is usually known for its lulz, but please no trolling or asshole-ish jokes in this topic at least please?

I have an associate of mine from another forum who lives in Yokohama, 45 mins by train from Tokyo. She's fine, but she's saying that the estimated death count has already surpassed 1000 people. We're waiting on news from our other friends over there.

Well this is probably one of those moments when you won't see Disney characters jump joyful around visitor children.
Apparently 69 000 is trapped inside Disney World, and can't get out.

So, if I have figured out this diagram correctly, is that the red layer is still moving into land as probably the most critical of situations.
I'd probably have difficult sleeping tonight if I lived down there.

And Talancir, hope everything goes okay with that associate over there.
And apparently, more or so by English pounds, it comes down to 55 billion.
It may as well take more then a year to build this up again.

That's lightly put, Blaire.

Just got off the phone with my family in Okinawa. They cant find my little cousin, Akimoto Tieko. He was in the house when they were evacuated and they dont know if he's alright, they haven't even gotten back to their house yet. He's only 5 years old and my family says he was playing in the basement the last time they recall seeing him. God i hope he's alright.

I also heard, closer to the epicenter, a commuter train has disappeared, carrying 78 people on board. It's sickening how much damage one earthquake can do.

What is the difference between a duck?

Right now it seems like Tsunami waves are heading to the Easter Islands off of Chile as opposed to the Western US and Canada, though warnings still stand as far as I am aware.

Cali. and Washington where already hit, at about noon today. It's across the pacific, doubt it would be as tremendous as it was along Japan's coast.
