Tsunami alert issued after strong earthquake shakes northeast Japan - The Globe and Mail (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/tsunami-alert-issued-after-strong-earthquake-shakes-northeast-japan/article6077765/)

A tsunami alert was issued for Japan’s northeast coast Friday after a powerful magnitude 7.3 undersea earthquake struck, setting buildings in Tokyo swaying violently.

Media reports said a one-metre-high wave could sweep ashore in Miyagi prefecture, an area badly hit by the March 2011 tsunami that devastated a large swathe of coast in the northeast, killing thousands.

Broadcaster NHK, quoting the national meteorological agency, said the tsunami is expected to hit imminently.

The United States Geological Survey measured the quake’s magnitude at 7.3.

There was no threat of a tsunami in the wider Pacific Ocean, according to the U.S.-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, but it warned an earthquake of that magnitude could generate a tsunami that can be destructive for local coastlines.

The West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center says there’s no tsunami danger for British Columbia, Alaska, Washington state, Oregon and California.

NHK said the Japan Meteorological Agency had issued a tsunami warning, one notch lower than a tsunami alert, for the Pacific coast of Iwate, Fukushima, Aomori and Ibaraki prefectures.

A 50-centimetre tunami was expected to hit the coast of Iwate, Fukushima, and Aomori and Ibaraki.

Nuclear plant operator Tokyo Electric Power told AFP there were no reports of further damage at the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant.

[BrRsn]

Leave the poor guy alone, was probably in a big rush to be the first on revscene to make a thread about it, and in his rush he forgot to google the word to spellcheck it.


In other news, Mighty Ducks was an amazing movie.

I was in the classroom when the earthquake hit and the kids didn't give a fuuuuuuck. They were laughing. Fucking psycho kids.

Hehe

Are you sure they weren't laughing at you when they saw you panicking?

To those kids, the earthquake was probably as common as rain falling in Vancouver.


After all........... it was the kind that only resulted in a 1 litre tsunami.

man, two weeks left till we perish
