I...I'm...in shock.
My uncle and relative may be dead.

Actually, hawaii is safe. It hasn't built up that much.

What's in danger is the west coast (of N.A.)

We had to write a journal entry about this today in school as a person from the renaissance.

I just saw this on the news. Apparently, the earthquakes are still going on, and Japan is not out of it yet. Also, because it is relativly flat, they may have to pump the water out once the disaster is over, much like New Orleans. One last thing: They are having trouble cool the nuclear reactors after they shut them down, and so now they evacuated everyone in a 3 kilometer (About 2 mile) raduis from around it.

I feel horrible for all those families destroyed by this. Japan however would probably be the best at dealing with disaters such as this because of the way their culture is designed, and the fact that they have the technology and economy to deal with it.

EDIT: Death Toll estimates, last I looked, were at about 1000.

Oh, my gosh.

I'm so sorry.

A lot of people survived, but still... sad

Guys: Hawaii dosen't have a massive population sustained by farmland ruined by the tsunami.

A lot of the stores are sold out. I swear, how house is a bunker: 6 feet thick walls, a MASSIVE underground labyrinth of a foundation (I've been down there, it's HUGE), and reinforced windows. Our school was fine, too. Japan is the single best place for this to happen because of the VERY strict earthquake standards around here. The problem up north is that a lot of the buildings are old and rusting, and aren't up to many standards.

In the Last Big One for Japan, in 1923, the fires were the problem. This time around, it's the tsunami.

Wow. All that damage, and all those deaths. sad

hmnwilson · 2011-03-11 16:37:32

Possibly the worst earthquake Japan's had in 1200 years... Wow, that's awful.

Are all of you OK?

iCode-747 · 2011-03-11 16:42:43

Yeah. In Tokyo, at least. Not up north. sad

jfmlove6 · 2011-03-11 16:44:20

Yeah,we went online at school today to learn about it. I feel sorry for all the people who lost their homes sad

On a lighter note,we had sports day(feild day,as alot of people call it)today.

I saw the tsunamis on T.V., breathtaking, but terrifying. Earthquake about 12000 times worse than Christchurch. Each point the magnitude goes up, it's a thousand times stronger. I saw tsunamis sweep away glasshouses, carrying away thousands of cars, boats, houses, buses, and assorted debris. I'm just glad it didn't strike on land. THAT would have been nasty. It is anyway.

Christchurch was worse because their buildings were older... but this is terrible sad

Shadowed1 · 2011-03-11 17:59:07

There are so many depressing and saddening events appearing in the media and news.
Poor Christchurch and Japan.

My friend's dad lives in Japan, so he was scared all day because his dad's company wasn't responding.

Also, I live in California, and now there is a warning for a huge earthquake sad

I say neither - you mean 5th or 6th since they started recording them, right? :S

forest · 2011-03-12 06:19:13

They may not be ,apparently the nuclear reactor they were having problems with yesterday experienced a massive explosion earlier today.. and there are 5 other nuclear plants experiencing difficulties..
apparently jet air stream would blow radioactivity towards the western seaboard of the usa..etc..
