[TheBahaBlast]

Getting a tsunami warning here in the states (San Francisco).

When? I'm visiting my GF tomorrow in SF.

 

[Seven Force]

Jesus, I hope this doesn't get near any Nuclear plants... this is too surreal.

 

[Morn]

Apparently Tokyo Disneyland got hit bad

How hard? Have they shown it yet?

 

[Kevtones]

Japan, my heart goes out to you. This is horrible. Absolutely horrible.



California GAF, what is the recommendation?

 

[Koodo]

look what this cunt on facebook said:

Drop a nasty comment on that status and then wipe her out of your friend list. Disgusting filth of a person.

 

[thebaroness]

look what this cunt on facebook said:

I could have done without that piece of negativity. If I want to read assholes on facebook I'd go to facebook.

 

[polyh3dron]

The dude talking about monster movies was from NHK, they were running the NHK World feed.

 

[ezekial45]

When? I'm visiting my GF tomorrow in SF.

Again, i heard on the news channel (CBS 5).

 

[Tunavi]

Tsunami warning in SF??? My god....

 

[Dresden]

Wow. I can't watch anymore. I saw a guy on a motorcycle trying to outrun the tsunami but it was a futile attempt.

Good luck, Japan.

Ugh.

 

[threenote]

Fucking people, man. =/

seriously. It's just ridiculous.

Tsunami Watch for Caifornia coast. Higher waves expected in San Francisco Bay Area near 7:46 PST. That's 10 hours after 8.8 Japan 'quake.


The hell. I don't want to go to sleep if that's the case

 

[Devolution]

thank god i live on the tippy top of a hill.

I live on a hill too but i wonder if commuting will be affected tomorrow going into SF.

 

[joshcryer]

This is mind numbing (been following it on another forum).

 

[RustyNails]

Goddamn massive fuck WHAT?! 8.9?!! You stay safe my Japanese brethren. To all those that lost their lives, my deepest condolences to their loved ones.

 

[the_log_ride]

look what this cunt on facebook said:

Scum.

 

[Medalion]

I live on Vancouver Island, we are so fucked

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

That guy actually lives in Japan. But yeah, I thought it seemed kind of distasteful too.

Yeah, but it does feel somewhat odd if you've watched them (granted I'm talking about my own experiences I don't know what this guy said), so I can understand the comparision.

Thankfully I just heard from my sister in law, still good, no tsunami threat where she is.

Does anyone have a feed for NHK English?

 

[Hazaro]

 

[eso76]

just heard on the radio that north and south america will have their share of waves from this soon-ish, no idea how reliable though

 

[MattyGrovesOrMe]

This is gut-wrenching... My thoughts are with the people affected right now.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Holy shit, people in the windows trapped. :\

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

FUCK. The people with the white cloth calling for help.

 

[JLG-]

Fuck the lady begging for help. SHIT man

 

[Keyser Soze]

Tsunami will hit Hawaii in 6 hours apparently, but will be decaying every second it takes to make its way there

 

[TheLegendary]

Guy with the white towel in that blue building just hit me hard.

CNN coverage anchor "I'm being flooded with tweets...."

...............................

Poor choice of words perhaps?

 

[donkey show]

Ah man, CNN just mentioned a tweet about some guy in Japan saying his grandfather died in the tsunami. =(

 

[Vard]

 

[CF_Fighter]

Someone just tweeted to CNN their grandfather was a tsunami victim. So horrible, and probably one of the many that will come as a result of this.

 

[ObnoxiousZebra]

FUCK. The people with the white cloth calling for help.

This is so painful to watch.

 

[jakncoke]

like a new inland land :/

 

[Verano]

los angeles is supposedly ready for any incoming waves..anyone by westchester, santa monica or close to LAX/coast..be safe

 

[Incognito]

not sure if posted, but two days ago there was a 7.2 quake in virtually the same area:

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqinthenews/2011/usb0001r57/

The 03/09/2011 earthquake near the east coast of Honshu, Japan, occurred as a result of thrust faulting on or near the subduction zone interface plate boundary between the Pacific and North America plates. At the latitude of this earthquake, the Pacific plate moves approximately westwards with respect to the North America plate at a velocity of 83 mm/yr.

and here's the summary of today's quake:

The 03/11/2011 earthquake (preliminary magnitude 8.9) near the east coast of Honshu, Japan, occurred as a result of thrust faulting on or near the subduction zone interface plate boundary between the Pacific and North America plates. At the latitude of this earthquake, the Pacific plate moves approximately westwards with respect to the North America plate at a velocity of 83 mm/yr.

[Garcia]

That tsunami is a fucking monster. I feel so anxious watching the ocean take entire farms, houses and cars away... People dying right in fron of our eyes.

Stay strong Japan. Damn....

 

[jman2050]

This is insane. To think that even after going to so many measures to prevent a disaster like this that somehow it just isn't enough.

Sometimes you're just at the mercy of nature.

 

[SonnyBoy]

Reminds me of Katrina with the people waving to the film crews for rescue.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Social Networking = incredible. I don't care who hates it, this shows how powerful it can be.

 

[TekkenMaster]

Terrible footage...seeing that wave sweeping all that debris along with it is unreal.

and...

I live literally a block from the beach in Santa Monica...should I be worried?

Fuck.

 

[Snake]

I'm in San Francisco right now (technically Daly City). Right on the coast.

I'm checking all the news sources I can, but I'm not seeing anything about our side of the Pacific.

 

[Femmeworth]

Holy shit, people in the windows trapped. :\

;_; I didn't notice them.

 

[threenote]

Tsunami in SF???

I can't find anything on this. Is this just a rumor, or what?

 

[DopeyFish]

This CNN woman omg

"those people in their windows, desperate to get in contact with loved ones" wtf how about desperate to survive?

Fuck man it's making me angry

 

[Morn]

First pic from inside Tokyo Disneyland:

 

[Blablurn]

holy shit, this is really bad. take care of yourself, japan GAF!!!! damn it, i just see the live feed on CCTV News. terrible.

 

[NomarTyme]

4 million homes without power! just like the California black out but way way way worse.

 

[Keyser Soze]

How hard? Have they shown it yet?

Sky News said the whole of the car park is flooded. Twitter has a photo that hits not much damage.. just scared people
