8.8 Quake hits Japan... tsunami warnings issued - Page 2

lashbear · 03-11-2011, 04:13 AM

We actually have an active warning - the Tsumani is expected to hit at 3:35pm today (Saturday) We have told mum to make sure she has plenty of candles and torches and water (there's an irony) just in case. The house is quite high above sea level, but we won't take any chances.

YO! Cricket! Run for high ground!!!!!! Oh, and the island has canceled trash pickup for today.

While it is obviously a parochial interest in the grand scheme of things, here's a thread at MP that has been tracking reports from Tokyo Disneyland.

So far it looks like parking lot damage and many people are spending the night in the park due to transportation disruption.

Thinking of Brad - hope he is OK.

The waves arrived in Hawaii ~15-20 minutes ago. Nothing major. 6-7 feet, expected to not cause much significant damage.

ETA: Oops, I was off by an hour, didn't realize Hawaii doesn't do DST

Read one report this morning that said it'll arrive on the west coast specifically Santa Barbara, around 8:30

They're predicting 1-3 waves up here. I've not heard anything significant at this point and see nothing in the bay, yet.

Some interesting video of the surge hitting Santa Cruz and messing up the harbor a little bit

I've been watching most of the night. The little three foot wave has hit the Oregon coast. If Gary was here he would have packed us up last night to go down to the coast to watch it, yes he is crazy!

It has been so sad watching the utter devastation and to watch the Tsunami live was heartwrenching for me.
