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.

Try CBS 5. That's what i'm watching.

 

[SpudBud]

This is terrifying.

 

[Jzero]

damn the aftershocks are still going

 

[TekkenMaster]

Seriously people, do those of us living very close to the CA coast have anything to worry about?

 

[Mush]

Holy crap.

 

[Wario64]

Tsunami in SF???

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

No, but I got it off Twitter

[NomarTyme]

Most of Japan probably aren't even seeing what we're seeing.

I'm gathering important items just in case.

 

[LOZLINK]

Holy shit.

 

[TekkenMaster]

I'm gathering important items just in case.

Good idea, I'll do the same.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Nope. My friends in Japan are like "Lolz, my train stopped. I gotta walk on the tracks!"

 

[LaneDS]

Most of Japan probably aren't even seeing what we're seeing.

In some cases that is probably for the best, I am sure everyone in the area is worried and on edge enough as is... seeing what that tsunami did on top of that... I can't even imagine.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

Damn! Good luck, Japan and everyone in line of the Tsunami

 

[maxxpower]

I feel nauseous. =[

 

[Zeal]

this is hard to watch man

 

[Mik2121]

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

Yep. Apparently only the park got flooded (about 20 mins ago or more, dunno) but everything else is safe. Thank god, because Disney Land are always packed with people.

Prayers for Japan

Tsunami in SF???

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

IF you draw a circle out from the the earthquake, then yes, it could. However, it will decay on it's way there, it will not reach for hours, and could be just a few inches upon "impact"

 

[rykomatsu]

Most of Japan probably aren't even seeing what we're seeing.

The probably are...the al jazeera feed is from NHK which is one of Japan's major networks (I think it's their national network).

 

[polyh3dron]

I would think that by the time the wave hits the west coast of north america it would be WAY smaller, am i right?

 

[Pachael]

That's terrible, and will be a big loss to Japan. Stay safe guys

 

[FStop7]

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

The crips and bloods will be shooting at any large waves that approach the shore.

 

[Zeal]

i give this bitch on CNN the Babbling Oblivious Cunt Award.

 

[lobdale]

My whole office is huddled around the TV here watchin' NHK... pretty crazy stuff.

I AM SUPPOSED TO HAVE AN ENGLISH TEACHERS PARTY TONIGHT

It's just a rumor for now, but I just text someone over at KRON about it and they'll get back to me.

 

[Dug]

Damn. This live footage is just terrifying.

 

[Weenerz]

Not only is this thing devastating, it's fucking fast. It's blitzing the country.

 

[Koodo]

What area are we seeing in the live feed? Everything is flooded.

 

[Mik2121]

Most of Japan probably aren't even seeing what we're seeing.

Well, except the area with 4 million + people out of electricity, I'd say everybody else is watching it. With the 1seg TV on the phones and everything else..

 

[maxxpower]

What about the South Bay? San Diego?

 

[VOOK]

What's worse all your American freaking out, even if anything hit it would be in 11 hours. Jeez. Worry about the people who need it now right?

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Madness. All live, blowing my mind.

We need to start preparing aid.

 

[Clydefrog]

fuck. this is horrible.

tsunami warning for hawaii now . mom, dad, brother

 

[Zeke]

any info on how us bases over there are holding up?

 

[LProtag]

All I've been able to do so far is just leave a message on my friend's facebook wall. No idea if he's near a computer or would even be considering being near one right now.

 

[BobTheFork]

Holy shit, good luck to everyone in Cal affected.

 

[KRS7]

I am watching NHKe HD here.

 

[Trevelyon]

What area are we seeing in the live feed? Everything is flooded.

Fukushima prefecture, as of right now.

Also, thanks for the Twitter link, Wario.

 

[Shalashaska161]

I can't watch this anymore. Japan my heart goes out to you.

 

[- J - D -]

Jesus I hope Japan pulls out of this okay. And everybody near the Pacific, stay safe.

 

[Vilam]

Go out to dinner, then come home to this madness. Wow... hope everyone on the coasts is on high alert. Looks really tragic for Japan

 

[Verano]

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

Fuck.

yes betch. check your local news for further info...if anything, at least go up to Santa Monica College's elevation

 

[vas_a_morir]

Well, except the area with 4 million + people out of electricity, I'd say everybody else is watching it. With the 1seg TV on the phones and everything else..

The people who are stranded because the trains stuck aren't watching, either.

 

[Tunavi]

hawaii is now under Tsunami warnings

 

[FStop7]

3AM ETA Hawaii time, they're under a warning. I hope it's deteriorated to the point where the worst they get is good surfing.
