If you are talking about energy, even a relatively minor earthquake is far more powerful than the biggest nuclear weapons. If you are talking about loss of life, I would doubt that you'd have 100K+ deaths from this, which was essentially what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki when you factor in radiation-associated illnesses.

Didn't something like 200,000 die in the 2004 Tsnuami? This Quake is even bigger than that one.

Yeah, but there are more factors at play than just the size of the earthquake. Even a huge quake will not always cause a Tsunami like the one in Indonesia, and Japan has a much better warning system.

[FAX]

They had less than a 30 minute warning from earthquake to enormous wave of death.

I watched this documentary one time about an island off the African coast. There is a giant sheet of granite (the size of a 50 story building) on that island that is sloughing off a mountain and, according to the geo-physicists who are studying the deal, when that granite finally falls into the ocean, they expect a potential 90 foot tidal flood to hit the US.

Amazing.

I'll take your word for it. I have no idea what any of that data means.

Normally all of the images are white with straightish squiggly lines... Never seen one black like that, let alone almost all of them.

Didn't they say this quake is like the 6th biggest in recorded history? Would that account for it or should we expect more quakes around the world?

[teedubya]

The guy in Taiwan is saying the waves are smaller than expected, and they aren't really getting hit yet.

Hopefully the waves diffuse.

I was reading about the "supermoon" earlier today...and then this happens.

Looks like the whole world tectonic plates are shifting. I've never seen it look like this. http://aslwww.cr.usgs.gov/Seismic_Data/heli2.shtml

Yeah, that is not good. Definately some crazy stuff happening. This is a pretty good Seismic Monitor to use also. http://www.iris.edu/seismon/

Who knows. There isn't a lot of other activity right now... But Earth is going through some changes the last couple weeks.

Yep, plus Jupiter is on the opposite side of the sun lined up... With the "super moon"... I wouldn't be surprised if this was the first of a few big ones in the next week or so.

Interesting note, the 1989 San Francisco earthquake was a 7.1.

[KC_Connection]

Well, I have to go to sleep. Hopefully the world doesn't end while I'm gone.

They said this one was a 160 times more powerful than the one that hit New Zealand.

[Phobia]

Interesting note, the 1989 San Francisco earthquake was a 7.1.

they had an aftershock of 7.4... up to 19 aftershocks in total thus far. Can you imagine? Just when you think the water is done you get hit by another aftershock. Additionally, how can aftershocks not cause additional tsunamis?

[teedubya]

I just saw on twitter that 2 nuclear plants are effected, one is on fire, the other one's cooling mechanism has malfunctioned. Jeesh.

I feel like I should go to bed before this thing gets any worse and I officially can't sleep at all.

Fox News is scrolling on the bottom of the screen that Charlie Sheen's house got raided due to him threatening to kill himself. He picked the wrong day for that. Lol

I'm reading that every time a huge, huge earthquake hits that all seismic data does this. I've never seen it though, since these quakes are rare.

These are VERY sensitive seismos, and all they're doing is registering the earthquake(s) that just happened. That is ALL you're seeing.

The next big EQ will be offshore California / Oregon.

If you take the 2 million dead fish into account this could happen within weeks.

Japan looked like this for the past 2 weeks... This is just my opinion... But those dead fish that died to "lack of oxygen" looks like Oregon/California may be next.

[Phobia]

Actual quote from Fox News this morning. Sometimes these news anchors are brilliant.

When told that it could take up to 30 minutes for the tsunami to get past the Hawaiian Islands, the Fox anchor responded, "Think about that - 20 to 30 minutes of, of water sweeping around you and maybe over you. That's a long period of time to be enduring a tsunami."

some tweets are saying nothing really hit Guam yet.

Are smaller quakes hitting Hawaii? A friend texted me that, but I can't find a story about it. Is that just to be expected given it's proximity?

I see 14 quakes in Hawaii today, but I think they may be related to the one in Japan.

MSNBC says they had a 30 second warning before the earthquake? How is that possible???

In the clear light of day, it's obvious. The earthquake occurred off shore. The seismic wave had to travel to the coast where people lived. If there were sensors near the spot of the quake, the message that a quake had occurred could travel at the speed of light in advance of the seismic wave, there by giving people a short warning if a system were in place to do so.
