After this has passed completely, I recommend going to a marina and take pics of all of the ship damage.

Here in Chile was 8.5 =/

And now we expect a tsunami to come now =/

And so far in Japan there are like 60 post- tremors

Quite low for earthquake standards in Japan, there were twice as many after the 1995 earthquake. You may want to go to higher ground if you live on the coast.

Yeah.. well the whole country´s near a shore (or almost most of cities). So there´re breaking news indicating us what to do in case of emergency.

At least, Chile´s big enough for us to have shelter at most cities. Besides we´re surrounded by mountains.

And so far, there are 19 countries reported to suffer from tsunamis right now.. besides us. But, we´re more supportive and prepared as a country now, that was our lesson.

Well, Kubo and Kojima are safe... But where the crap are the others? Miyamoto? Oda? Anyone have any ideas about how we might be able to figure out where they are?

Nothing about them yet. But if they live in Tokyo, they're alright.

Apparantly, Miyamoto is in the USA...?

And Oda lives in Kumamoto... dunno where that is...

[pokefloote]

I'm watching, they're trying to figure if it's a separate one or an aftershock.

 

[Coto]

ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE?! 6.2, japan.

post- earthquakes. They´re normal.

a 6.0 it´s normal here. A bit strong, but still.

damn. i feel sorry for the people there but i also wanna try to experience that.

I don´t think it is a good feeling.

It´s like you´re shaking but without your consent, besides, the fear it could become worse.

Generally, a tremor, earthquake and sort, begins with a soft earth movement but it begins to get more tense. And when it´s QUITE strong, seconds become hours.

Fuck, just heard, another earthquake of 7.5 in tokio. That´s not nice, believe me.

I got an email back from my friend in Tokyo (Nakano prefecture), he and his family are all fine.
He walked 20km to go back home.


I see many countries are sending help to japan. I wonder if civilians can also be part of the help. Maybe only humanitarian organization can go there for the moment.


PS :
I'm also living in a seismic area, and we are waiting for a big one too, but I hope it won't be as big as this one.
The last one we got is from 1 month ago, but was only 3.x on Richter, and lasted less than 5 seconds. we felt it because it was at night.

My prayers to the Japanese people. Things like this really make you wonder about whether the end is coming or not. Remember the earthquake in Haiti a year ago. Then there are some scientists saying that an earthquake,maybe as big or bigger than the one in Haiti, is going to hit the Dominican Republic. The central part of the island is going to be the most affected. Things sure are getting crazy.

Also, concerning the earthquake in Japan, i heard from my friend that he couldn't buy any food at the supermarket due to everybody stocking up on supplies. He had the same luck when he tried going to a convenience store (conbini). Hopefully he will be able to get some food later on today.
