A 2m Tsunami is huge.

As it nears shore it will turn into a much higher wave.

 

They are issuing warnings here, although the wave is only supposed to be 2ft by the time it hits the coast.

(I'm in San Francisco, flying out this evening)

 

It's just hit Oregon.

 

Is this Karma for Pearl Harbour, Whale killing and shark fin soup?

As far as i could tell micronesia has been spared , can you imagine a wave higher than the highest bit of land on your little island

 

That is what happened in the Maldives.

 

just shows that the idiots arguing that the planet needs saving are 180 degrees out

 

She is annoyed. And these things are getting worse and stronger. Does make you wonder.
No disrespect to that area, but they are famous for mass pollution. It's been posted on here before.
It's still awful and very, very tragic.

 

"Doggy" from this forum is in Japan right now, he was sent over for 3 months as part of the training for his new job, he says its pretty crazy, some of his pictures he has taken have been quite impressive tbh.

The footage of Skyscrapers swaying was insane.

I gotta say I've been very impressed with what I have seen of the Japanese society and government so far.

 

the most danger comes from aftershocks..i had 11 one night and woke up in bed beside my sister

 

WTF?

 

thats wot she said

 

Thanks mate

I've been in Japan for nearly 5 years... and let's just say it was one of the scariest things to ever happen to me!

I live in the prefecture of Gunma, so only about 450miles away from where the real havoc wreaked, but it shooks things up pretty bad where I was.


As for the person who made this comment It certainly is no joke mate

So just to let you know, at least one scoobynet member in Japan is ok... I also have mates from other car forums, and they are all safe too

 

The 6 foot wave is an indication of the shock wave from the earthquake being transmitted via the water in the sea.

When it reaches a coast the shallower water causes the wave to increase in size and can then turn into a tidal wave which will flow over the coast concerned.

kind of makes you grateful for living in such a wonderfully boring location like England

 

Funny you should say that!

This is what the Yanks think about it.

That's got to be liquifaction causing that... the ground is floating on a bed of water or saturated ground underneath.

Scary scary stuff

 

What a bunch of a$$holes!

They got pay back on Pearl Harbour by the nuke they dropped.

 

Slight correction made.

 

Yea my mistake, I can't believe the arrogance of some of those people TBH, fair enough the jokes are out already and some of them are pretty funny but to say things like they deserve it etc is a bit much.

 

SN member Coolangatta lives over there. I'm worried about him.

 

BBC reporter just called the Tsunami a "tidal wave" - what a pillock.
