A fricken 8.8? I wouldn't be surprised to see a 10.0 in California in the next few days.

If I could make a recommendation to other CA members, like myself, for the next few days please LEGALLY have a weapon with you at all times.

[General of Darkness]

I'm watching cars getting swallowed up by the wave. People running for their damn lives, and it just breaks my fricken heart.

I'm not a religious man but I'm saying a prayer for them. The only thing I can do is just watch it.

Today I pray for the people of Japan. :boohoo

I hope it completely crashes...(so I can get sum!)

[Osaka]

It's bad.

26 killed so far, but I expect the death toll to skyrocket. We are still having quakes at about 4 per hour, frighteningly in different places than the original quake. The last one was in the sea of Japan, completely on the other side of the country.

In Osaka, we all felt it, and it shook stuff, but there is no damage here. It's Friday night rush hour in Tokyo right now, but they completely shut down all the trains, so everyone is stranded. Tokyo Disneyland has gathered all guests outside, told them to sit on the ground and wait. No way to get out anyway.

3.98 million households reportedly without power right now.

One wave was 7.3 meters high.

Another after-quake just reported. The news automatically gets interrupted by an alert tone and a computer voice saying "a quake is coming". The news cuts to a view of Tokyo, and a few seconds later, we see the camera start to shake. In other words, the people of Tokyo are getting a 10 second warning before each new aftershock, assuming they are watching the TV.

[Osaka]

I don't think this is from the latest quake. No way cranes would already be up before sunset.

[Osaka]

Nuclear emergency declared. A major power plant cannot get cooling water into the reactor. No radiation released so far, though. Reportedly the back up generators cannot pump cooling water into the reactor.

A train reportedly missing.

A boat with 100 people on board reportedly missing.

Probably HAARP.

I am unsure on this, but if it was the criminal network,

then my guess is that it was an underwaterwater nuke, on the fault line

the video on Sky News showed the wave before it hit land.

side-stepping the subject of human casualties - that was a beautiful wave.

some surfers will wake up this morning and think, "oh MAN if only i could have been there". then they may argue about whether it was a "right" or a "left".

of course once it got to land, it was a different story. it didn't just break on the shore and flow back to the ocean like a normal 33 foot wave.

I don't think it was either HAARP or an underwater nuke, doing it, these types of earthquakes happened before HAARP and Nukes, more likely it is the gravitational pull of the close moon, that caused this...

hmmm .... well .... hmmm.

Mount Rainier, anybody ? damn that's a beautiful mountain but i hadn't thought about the moon pulling on tectonic plates - but it does make sense.

all those mountains up in BC Canada did not just spring up out of the ground - it took some monumental geological forces to create them. and, the Canadian government has had a warning on their gov. website about their expectation of a huge (8+) earthquake in the BC area since 2004 or before.

http://www.theoildrum.com/

has lots of geologists posting - i wonder what they're saying.

[General of Darkness]

Apparently 2 - 300 bodies have washed ashore, a ferry with hundreds of people is missing, a train is missing. I wouldn't be surprised that the death toll is over 10,000.

This is so damn sad, it really breaks my heart.

[Horn]

Sounds like they had a break, or clog in one of their cooling supply lines, trying to ramp up the pumps to compensate, but the electric loop back to the pumps is too weak.

Reactor is not cooling down...

Funny, well not really, I had a bad feeling all day yesterday. Anxious, nervous, anger.

Wake up to see this stuff.

Headed out to run errands and pick up a few things. Decided I'm carrying concealed today. No permit needed here, and I live in a place where we are relatively safe from violence. But for some reason I decided to carry today. It's been several weeks since I last did.

[StreetsOfGold]

As bad as this is, it's nothing compared to what's coming

Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Revelation 8:5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
Revelation 11:13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Revelation 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Revelation 16:18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

That wave looks far more treacherous than the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami wave which killed 250k people.

Thanks, this whole morning has been very interesting. To wake up to information overload, I'm prepared for a lot of doom, but a tsunami is a game over event for me.

What's really interesting, is that the news is all about local. Nothing about Japan. We may get a few small waves and everyone is freaking out, yet no information about all the poor souls in Japan. I'm still trying to find out what happened there. Local news is worthless, just making people panic.

I remember the 89, loma prieta quake, like it was yesterday. It last about 15 seconds, felt like forever. The quake in Japan lasted 4 minutes!!! 900 times more powerful than the 89 quake!!!

Just the thought of that takes my breath away..

edit: update on local news, the first waves were the small ones. Apparently the bigger waves will hit within an hour or two.

[drafter]

I stood on the bluff overlooking the ocean here near Newport, OR and it was nothing much. What I would consider just a decent size surge but still less than what we get during a typical storm.

Looks like Hawaii got hit with a pretty big tsunami, 11 feet high.

[solid]

Looks like we are getting some damage from this on the west coast afterall. Minor stuff though. Local news has footage of marinas taking a beating on the coast, boats breaking loose and sinking. They say we're supposed to get surges throughout the day.

Watching this live right now, doesn't look good..significant damage actually.

Sections of the B.C. coast recorded up to a metre in the rise of water but no damage from the Japan tsunami generated by that country’s 8.9 magnitude earthquake Friday.

Glen Plummer at the Provincial Emergency Program said reports started coming in before 8 a.m. of waves arriving on the B.C. coast.

All were under one metre, however the weather advisory was still in effect as of 8:15 a.m.

“We’re warning people to stay away, and out of the water.”

The first wave was noted at Winter Harbour at the north end of Vancouver Island where slightly elevated water levels were recorded, but “nothing to worry about,” said Plummer.

Just after a closer than years new moon and several larger than years solar flares.

From the BBC: The power of the earthquake off north-east Japan shifted the earth's axis by nearly 10in (25cm), Earth-issues.com reports, citing the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology. The phenomenon is not unusual for a major quake.

And this...

More on the troubled nuclear plant: Japan's trade minister, Banri Kaieda, says authorities are nearing a decision to release radioactive steam from the Fukushima nuclear reactor in a bid to ease a build-up of pressure, AFP reports. Thousands of local residents have been evacuated.

Special bulletin: Earthquake attack on Japan originated in New Mexico and Nevada, U.S. New Madrid fault line next target

The horrific earthquake weapon attack on Japan, resulting in 10 meter tsunamis along much of Japan’s coast line came from rogue elements of the U.S. government located in underground bases in New Mexico and Nevada, according to pentagon and CIA sources.

The next target will be the New Madrid fault line in the South-Western United States, according to threats originating from the Nazi George Bush Senior faction of the U.S. government.

The United States is supposed to be an ally of Japan, we demand that you immediately send men with tanks and guns to take these bases and arrest these genocidal rogues. You know who they are and you know where they are, you must act or your own people will be next.

Keep a prayer handy solid... and for Japan...

Downpour on my soul
Splashing in the ocean, I'm losing control
Dark sky all around
I can't feel my feet touching the ground
But if I can't swim after forty days
and my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me up - when I'm falling
Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying
Lift me up - I need you to hold me
Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again

US says Japan earthquake left billions in damage

(AP) – 1 hour ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — A massive earthquake that struck off the coast of Japan Friday was the strongest quake in the area in nearly 1,200 years.

David Applegate, a senior science adviser for earthquake and geologic hazards for the U.S. Geological Survey, said the 8.9-magnitude quake ruptured a patch of the earth's crust 150 miles long and 50 miles across.

He said the earthquake, which also spawned a massive tsunami that hit Japan before racing across the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii and the West Coast of the United States, likely caused tens of billions of dollars in structural damage in Japan.

Laura K. Furgione, deputy director for the National Weather Service, said the tsunami first hit Hawaii early Friday morning. An 8.1-foot wave destroyed piers and docks in Crescent City, Calif., later Friday.

"There is extreme turbulence in world events as the campaign to oust the rogue cabal in control of the United States enters its final phase. One sign is a cut-off of some oil supplies to the U.S. regime, according to US military intelligence. Another is that Serbian operatives claim to have smuggled a nuclear weapon near BIS headquarters in Switzerland. Yet another is that the one million American Satanists are using earthquake weapon blackmail in an effort to force New Zealand to give them their South Island as a refuge. Meanwhile, promises of imminent mass arrests of cabal members continue to be repeated by high level sources but so far, the Washington D.C. criminal enterprise continues to create global mayhem."

This hit close enough to home that it showed me what things I need to stock up on immediately. I didn't freak out too much since I'm pretty good on supplies and stuff, but still things I wish I had. I suspect this won't be the last big quake this month and since I'm about 300 yards from the ocean I need to be prepared a little better. Luckily I'm about 85ft above sea level, but there's low areas to both the north and south of me that basically turn my location into an island.

This particular time the waves didn't amount to much at my location but they had a 7ft surge aboout 25 miles north and a 5ft surge about 25 miles south.

Water is already off. I've got lots of bottled water and a Big Berkey with water sources nearby so I'm actually pretty good in the water department. It's just an inconvenience at this point. I just noticed a buch of little things while rushing around this morning like being short on some sizes of batteries. Also need to stock up on charcoal so that I can still cook should my coleman stove eventually run out of fuel. Just a lot of little things. I think I need to start looking longer term. I'm great in the short term for the most part. Have lots of food, but could always use more..

Hearing it on BBC right now, yup they're talking about wanting to release some vapor from 3 of 5 reactors since cooling mechanisms have failed, this is typically safe unless some of the harmful agent in the reactors manage to mix in with the vapor due to the damage inflicted, apparently these cooling mechanisms were built in early 70's.

Today was a wake up call to me.

This is the third tsunami issue I've been through, and we actually had damage from it. The first one, I remember the alarm went off...I was knocking back beers with a dockmate at the time. A crazy frenchmen who owned a boat nearby went running past us yelling "tsunami, get the fuck out of here!". If you can image that with a french accent, it's quite funny, actually. I looked at my dock buddy, we downed our beers and grabbed another.

The second warning, nothing happened, yet with this one, it's a wake up for sure.

I found I'm more worried about FEMA, than the damn tsunami. Forced evacuations concern me to great ends. I ought to be allowed to make my own damn decision, to stay with the boat (like I did today), or leave. That's my damn choice, I don't want that compromised.

Japan declares nuclear emergency (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12720219)


11MAR 2011 20:26 ET

Cooling systems inside several reactors at the Fukushima 1 and 2 power plants have stopped working properly, leading to a build-up of pressure.

Thousands of people have been ordered to evacuate the area near the plants.

Technicians are starting to release vapour to lower the pressure in some of the reactors.

Some of the released gases could be radioactive, but officials insisted the procedure would pose no risk to the public.

Radioactivity levels in the control room of the Fukushima 1 plant were reportedly running at 1,000 times normal.

The earthquake knocked out the power supply to the plants, which then automatically shut down.

But it seems that back-up generators at Fukushima 1 designed to power the plant's basic functions also failed.

Two reactors at the Fukushima 1 plant were left without sufficient cooling.

And officials later said they were unable to control the cooling systems in three reactors at Fukushima 2 plant, 11km (seven miles) south of Fukushima 1.

Wind factor

Under Japanese law, an emergency must be declared if a cooling system fails, if there is a release of radiation, or if there is a dangerous level of water in the reactor.

Prime Minister Naoto Kan declared the emergency. He announced the evacuations after visiting the plant.

Earlier, the authorities say they are taking wind direction into account when planning the release of radioactive vapour, which they insist would not be in quantities big enough to affect human health.

"It's possible that radioactive material in the reactor vessel could leak outside but the amount is expected to be small and the wind blowing towards the sea will be considered," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano told a news conference.

The six reactors at Fukushima 1 came online in the 1970s; Fukushima 2 has four reactors, built during the 1980s.

All nuclear facilities in Japan are designed to withstand earthquakes.

But experts say there appears to have been multiple failures at the Fukushima facilities, raising serious questions about the safety of Japan's reactors.

The reactors at Fukushima 1 are Boiling Water Reactors (BWR), one of the most commonly used designs, and widely used throughout Japan's fleet of nuclear power stations.

Heat is produced by a nuclear reaction in the core, causing the water to boil, producing steam. The steam is directly used to drive a turbine, after which it is cooled in a condenser and converted back to water. The water is then pumped back into reactor core, completing the loop.

In total, the country has 55 reactors providing about one-third of the nation's electricity.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AFFECTED POWER PLANTS
Onagawa - all three reactors shut down automatically
Fukushima Daiichi - reactors 1,2 and 3 shut down automatically; reactors 4,5 and 6 were not in operation; reactor 1 and one other were not cooling as expected
Fukushima Daini - all four reactors shut down automatically, three experiencing cooling problems
Tokai - single operational reactor shut down automatically
Defence officials said troops trained in chemical disasters had been sent to the plants in case of a radiation leak.

A crazy frenchmen who owned a boat nearby went running past us yelling "tsunami, get the fuck out of here!". If you can image that with a french accent, it's quite funny, actually. I looked at my dock buddy, we downed our beers and grabbed another.

The second warning, nothing happened, yet with this one, it's a wake up for sure.

I found I'm more worried about FEMA, than the damn tsunami. Forced evacuations concern me to great ends. I ought to be allowed to make my own damn decision, to stay with the boat (like I did today), or leave. That's my damn choice, I don't want that compromised.

Tsunami warning center raises magnitude of Japan quake to 9.1


The Japan earthquake was the fourth most powerful ever recorded with a magnitude of 9.1, twice more powerful than the initial estimate of 8.9, Gerard Fryer, geophysicist of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, said this morning.

Three others that were more powerful since the late 1800s when seismometers started measuring ground motions were in 9.5 in Chile in 1960, 9.2 in Alaska in 1964 and 9.1 in Sumatra in 2004, according to Fryer.

The new magnitude was adjusted based on the impact of the quake throughout the Pacific, he said. "It fits all measurements, including in Hawaii," Fryer said.

The U.S. Geological Survey estimate of the quake's magnitude is still 8.9.

It is not uncommon for scientists to estimate different magnitudes immediately after an earthquake.

Everybody now is aware of this KNOWN RISK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Ring_of_Fire) and can't blame it on an act of God.

Either us taxpayers or our insurance companies keep "rebuilding" after each event.

Same thing with known flood areas.

Same thing in the Gulf with hurricanes.

Same thing in tornado country.

All these people who remain in these known risky areas are intentionally playing the percentage/insurance game.

At least GSUS is paying more attention to this, the GIMers are just cracking about it.

GSUS has really become what we had hoped it would become, thank God for that..

What is up with the water main breaks? Are we supposing that this is the result of.... what?

Just wondering.

Hm.....I responded a while ago to this but my post disappeared. Anyway....

There is no way this is a coincidence.

What if the moon or some other body is exerting a gravitational force causing the water table to change slightly? This might put pressure on the water system and cause burst mains.

Another possibility is a slight change in the earth's axis is changing the water table slightly in some way.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/12/us-japan-quake-nuclear-us-analysis-idUSTRE72B04C20110312

(Reuters) - Japanese officials may only have hours to cool reactors that have been disabled by Friday's massive earthquake and tsunami or face a nuclear meltdown.

Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) (9501.T) is racing to cool down the reactor core after a highly unusual "station blackout" -- the total loss of power necessary to keep water circulating through the plant to prevent overheating.

Daiichi Units 1, 2 and 3 reactors shut down automatically at 2:46 p.m. local time due to the earthquake. But about an hour later, the on-site diesel back-up generators also shut, leaving the reactors without alternating current (AC) power.

That caused Tepco to declare an emergency and the government to evacuate thousands of people from near the plant. Such a blackout is "one of the most serious conditions that can affect a nuclear plant," according to experts at the Union of Concerned Scientists, a U.S. based nuclear watchdog group.

"If all AC power is lost, the options to cool the core are limited," the group warned.

TEPCO also said it has lost ability to control pressure at some of the reactors at its Daini plant nearby.

The reactors at Fukushima can operate without AC power because they are steam-driven and therefore do not require electric pumps, but the reactors do require direct current (DC) power from batteries for its valves and controls to function.

If battery power is depleted before AC power is restored, the plant would stop supplying water to the core and the cooling water level in the reactor core could drop.

RADIATION RELEASE

Officials are now considering releasing some radiation to relieve pressure in the containment at the Daiichi plant and are also considering releasing pressure at Daini, signs that difficulties are mounting. Such a release has only occurred once in U.S. history, at Three Mile Island.

"(It's) a sign that the Japanese are pulling out all the stops they can to prevent this accident from developing into a core melt and also prevent it from causing a breach of the containment (system) from the pressure that is building up inside the core because of excess heat," said Mark Hibbs, a nuclear expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

While the restoration of power through additional generators should allow TEPCO to bring the situation back under control, left unchecked the coolant could boil off within hours. That would cause the core to overheat and damage the fuel, according to nuclear experts familiar with the Three Mile Island accident in Pennsylvania in 1979.

It could take hours more for the metal surrounding the ceramic uranium fuel pellets in the fuel rods to melt, which is what happened at Three Mile Island. That accident essentially frozen the nuclear industry for three decades.

Seven years later the industry suffered another blow after the Chernobyl plant in Ukraine exploded due to an uncontrolled power surge that damaged the reactor core, releasing a radioactive cloud that blanketed Europe.

The metal on the fuel rods would not melt until temperatures far exceed 1,000 degrees F. The ceramic uranium pellets would not melt until temperatures reached about 2,000 degrees F, nuclear experts said.

Japan authorities: TEPCO plant fuel rods may have melted

Japanese nuclear authorities said that there was a high possibility that nuclear fuel rods at a reactor at Tokyo Electric Power's Daiichi plant may be melting or have melted, Jiji news agency reported.

Experts have said that if the fuel rods have been damaged, it means that it could develop into a breach of the nuclear reactor vessel and the question then becomes one of how strong the containment structure around the vessel is and whether it has been undermined by the earthquake.

Report: Explosion near Japanese nuclear plant
http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/03/12/japan.nuclear/index.html

By the CNN Wire Staff
March 12, 2011 3:24 a.m. EST
STORY HIGHLIGHTS

* It is not clear where the explosion occurred or what caused it
* Japan's nuclear agency says radioactive cesium is detected in the air near one plant
* There is a strong possibility that the melting of a fuel rod caused the leak, the agency says
* Authorities evacuated people living near two plants

(CNN) -- An explosion has been reported near a nuclear plant in northeastern Japan's Fukushima prefecture, Japanese public broadcaster NHK said Saturday, citing the country's nuclear and industrial safety agency.

The Tokyo Electric Company said some workers on the ground were injured, NHK reported.

It was not immediately clear where the blast occurred in relation to the Fukushima Daiichi plant, or what caused it.

Earlier Saturday Japan's nuclear agency said workers were continuing efforts to cool fuel rods at the plant after a small amount of radioactive material escaped into the air.

The agency said there was a strong possibility that the small amount of radioactive cesium monitors detected was caused by the melting of a fuel rod at the plant, adding that engineers were continuing to cool the fuel rods by pumping water around them.

A spokesman for Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Agency earlier said atomic material had seeped out of one of the five nuclear reactors at the Daiichi plant, located about 160 miles (260 kilometers) north of Tokyo.

Authorities evacuated people living near the reactor after an earthquake and tsunami crippled cooling systems there, as well as at another of the Tokyo Electric Power Company's nuclear plants.

The evacuations notwithstanding, the nuclear safety agency asserted Saturday that the radiation at the plants did not pose an immediate threat to nearby residents' health, the Kyodo News Agency said.

The International Atomic Energy Agency said Friday on its website that the quake and tsunami knocked out a Daiichi reactor's off-site power source, which is used to cool down the radioactive material inside. Then, the tsunami waves disabled the backup source -- diesel generators -- and authorities were working to get these operating.

On Saturday Japanese nuclear authorities said the cooling system had also failed at three of the four reactors at the Fukushima Daini plant -- located in another town in northeaster Japan's Fukushima prefecture.

Janie Eudy told CNN that her 52-year-old husband, Joe, was working at the Daiichi plant and was injured by falling and shattering glass when the quake struck. As he and others were planning to evacuate, at their managers' orders, the tsunami waves struck and washed buildings from the nearby town past the plant.

"To me, it sounded like hell on earth," she said, adding her husband -- a native of Pineville, Louisiana -- ultimately escaped.

The power company reported Saturday that about 1 million households were without power, and that power shortages may occur due to damage at the company's facility.

"We kindly ask our customers to cooperate with us in reducing usage of power," the company said.

hehe wrong button. I heard 1 hour at that level is the same amount of exposure for 1 year. I think they may need to relocate most of the country if both of these plants go chernobyl. Relocation could mean other countries might have to take them. Could need a global billeting program. Would be better than camps.
