4.6 EQ just hit Hawaii

 

Hundreds of Oahu residents flocked to the Times Supermarket to purchase water and supplies Thursday in Honolulu. The state of Hawaii is under a tsunami warning due to a large 8.9-magnitude earthquake off Japan. The earthquake is believed to have generated a tsumani wave. The Pacific Tsunami Center expects the wave to hit Hawaii at 2:59 a.m. Hawaiian Standard Time.



FFS what's next?

 

25cm!? Man, I'm almost 25cm. :excited:

 

Tsunami warnings for New Zealand and Taiwan have been lifted

 

That is a serious earthquake. 8.9, holy moly!

 

Thought this was interesting,

 

absolutely devastating =( must be a living hell over there:

 

the footage on TV is amazing....one seismologist was doing a report to camera with the map you posted behind him and it was changing by the second.

 

have to say i think the death toll from this is going to be scarey

 

Between 200 and 300 bodies have been found on a beach near Sendai, the semi-official Jiji Press news agency is reporting.

 

omg.... devastating tragedy

 

CNN is reporting that the Tsunami is hitting Hawaii right now. But live video shows nothing yet.

 

japan..oh god help them

 

I saw the early reports and thought nothing of it, then saw the news footage and saw the actual devastation, this is another tragedy we all have to deal with somehow. More lives lost, more lives devastated beyond repair and the final bill as yet to be paid.

 

With Mother Nature there is no "final bill", she will exact destruction as freely as she blesses us with bounty.

 

Amazing pics on BBC News right now......you think "Is that road gonna survive?" then the road next to it gets swamped. Crazy

 

Wow a lot of posts since I was gone!

UPDATED Tsunami advisory for B.C. coast

The north and central B.C. coast, along with the west coast of Vancouver Island from Cape Scott to Port Renfrew, were on tsunami advisories early Friday after an 8.9-magnitude earthquake struck in Japan. 9:12 AM ET

(!)The north and central B.C. coast, along with the west coast of Vancouver Island from Cape Scott to Port Renfrew, were on tsunami advisories early Friday after an 8.9-magnitude earthquake struck in Japan.

Advisories are not as severe as a warning, but the Provincial Emergency Co-ordination Centre is advising local governments in coastal areas to activate emergency plans.

"We are in an advisory situation here, where we could see a potential strong currents in harbours and isolated coastal areas," Kelli Kryzanowski of Emergency Management B.C. in Victoria, told CBC News.

They aren't expecting to see any massive inundation, but we are looking at some potential waves about 50 centimetres or so."

 

How tragic!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The after affects will be devestating. They just reported that they are having problems with some nuclear reactors not cooling...

Tsumani on the way to west coast! Jezu!

 

Hi Eves!
Yes, I heard that too, about the reactors, the govt apparently denied this to be true.

but then there's ....http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2011/03/11/f-japan-earthquake-topix.html

Nuclear worries: There is some concern about the stability of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant in north-central Japan, as workers there are having trouble cooling the reactor. The plant was shut down after the quake hit, but authorities are asking nearby residents to evacuate, according to Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano.
