Jim in Anchorage Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Wow 8.9 is a monster. And 6 miles is very shallow for a quake. Why are you lookin at Aljazeera BTW? AP report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 We're under tsunami warning right now. They're saying it's expected to hit during low tide so that is good. Not sure how much is hype from the media. Oh and BTW 8.9 is HUGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBill Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I've experienced a couple of eathquakes in the mid to upper 6's. That was bad enough I can't imagine an 8 (almost 9) quake given every full number increase represent 10X in power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 We're under tsunami warning right now. They're saying it's expected to hit during low tide so that is good. Not sure how much is hype from the media. Oh and BTW 8.9 is HUGE! They're reporting waves in Orange County shouldn't be more than two feet, which is really good news. I have a number of friends who work in Japan, and haven't head back from them yet. They apparently have no phone, cellphones or internet access, so I'm hoping that's the only reason I haven't heard from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Our video conferencing system allows us to dial Japan to a camera mounted on the companies headquarters. I can't dial it in, it's busy. The surge in Santa Cruz Harbor sunk about a dozen pleasure boats. When I heard that I was very surprised. Mother nature is one tough cookie.

Kiwi Bills fan Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 My thoughts and prayers are with those in Japan. Their SAR teams were some of the very first to arrive and help us out with out Christchurch earthquake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) A 6.6 hit Nagano, about 250 miles away from the 8.9. In Crescent City, CA the waves were 6-8 feet. Lots of damage, but the town was evacuated and no one is hurt. They lost 20-25 people in 1964. Edit: 4 people swept out to sea.
