DarkNite 0 Posted March 11, 2011 Good Day Everyone ... I was watching the news and i was shocked with this ... The most powerful earthquake to hit Japan in at least 100 years unleashed walls of water that swept across rice fields, engulfing towns, dragging houses onto highways and tossing cars and boats like toys.Local media reported at least 32 deaths, with more casualties feared. And the 8.9-magnitude quake, which struck at 2:46 p.m., prompted the U.S. National Weather Service to issue a tsunami warning for at least 20 countries.The quake's epicenter was 373 kilometers (231 miles) away from Tokyo, the United States Geological Survey said. But residents there continued to feel aftershocks hours after the quake. More than 30 aftershocks followed, with the strongest measuring at 7.1.praying that all who lives there will be safe ... http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/03/11/japan.quake/index.html?hpt=T1&iref=BN1et us pray for them .... you can also paste this to your status ... COPY AND PASTE NOW! If you have friends or family in Hawaii, Guam, Indonesia, Taiwan, Philippines, Russia, Marcus Island, Northern Marianas or other areas around these countries ring and wake them if they are 2km or closer within the coast line etc as tsunami warning -they are saying on CNN for people to ring people as people dont know. From the quake that just happened in Japan. This is happening now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarkNite 0 Posted March 11, 2011 With all that has been happening, that thought has been lingering in my mind. I am scared to think about what might happen on March 19. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kokonee 0 Posted March 12, 2011 Why March 19th?High waves hit the Oregon and Northern California coast as well. Mostly just damage to docks and boats. One person missing in Crescent City, California. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiddly Winks 0 Posted March 12, 2011 I watched that video you posted to your page, Stas, absolutely unbelieveable that the tsunami reached the US. I saw another video on CNN that the damage to the docks in the US had reached the millions. It's hard to even think about the damage and lives lost in Japan without wanting to cry.
