[Vigilante]

In Japan, though you get the best of technology,you also get the worse out of nature.

I am about to watch the footages and I was like, is this the time for these stupid ads? >.>

I sure hope we dont get earthquakes this early in the Philippines. T_T

What's happening to our world now?

It's because of their ways of building upwards to save landspace, and practicing earthquake safety yearly that they've survived this so well.
Compared to the Haiti disaster, Japan has been well developed enough and well prepared to deal with this sort of hazard.

Are you anywhere near the coast? CNN issued a warning a few minutes ago.

Man, that tsunami footage is crazy! O.O

I'm actually scared now for the Vancouver, BC region. Wonder if we'll be getting hit by something like this soon.

A tsunami warning for Taiwan was issued as well. Please be safe!

EDIT: Whoops. Are you in Canada?

 

[ChuckBartowski]

Im scared now too. California is the only place along the ring of fire that hasnt had a large earthquake in a while. Im only about 75 miles away from the fault line. So when it happens here, its gonna be bad.

 

[Zorua]

The tsunami's gonna come to Hawaii at 2:49 AM. Please be safe guys!

Get a Twitter account immediately, if only for news on this. It is the best source of information in a time of crisis like this. I've been getting updates on tsunami information before it even hits news sites or channels.

Good thing I am like in the high altitude >.< I live in NM, USA. Hopefully everyone near shore would evacuate as soon as they can just to be safe.

I hope Nomura is alright.

Spoiler

I want Kh3 badly

Sociologically I'm interested if this earthquake is going to spike the number of twitter registrations, and obviously the activity too.

Mods please update the title. It's been upgraded to 8.9.

Well supposedly, the nuclear plants shut down, one less thing to worry about.

This is quite scary, haven't seen something this large for quite a while. I'm not really sure if it would hit Singapore, since we're in the Pacific-Asian region, but I doubt so and there hasn't been an warning issued yet.

I live in Northern known as Pangasinan. In my city, we are in the coastline of Sout CHina Sea. I'll post a picture of where I am.

Japan is in deep north but I dont know where the tsunami is.

Reports said at 5-7pm later for the tsunami. It's just near 1 hour more before it hits our country the tsunami.

This is apparently the largest earthquake on record to ever hit Japan. Damage is pretty massive and Japan is going to be in a pretty terrible economical state. It's going to be a long recovery. Had it just been the earthquake, Japan would have been pretty good, but the tsunami is causing massive amounts of destruction.

This is the world's 7th largest earthquake ever.

EDIT: Can this be front-paged? It's going to help improve awareness.

May God have his hand over you. We've got a few hours. Stay safe.

I personally live on the West Coast of the United States and am thinking that if there is a strong possibility of the tsunami hitting Hawaii; what are the odds that it will strike the west coast of the US? It seems like this tsunami is traveling far and wide, and this isn't outside the realm of possibility.
