Japan Earthquake | Page 998

I liked that story earlier about the town that was untouched by the tsunami, because they have always held to the 600 year old stone markers that say "Build no houses below this line." The tsunami topped out below it.

@radioguy Those who do not follow history are destined to repeat it.
by Jim Carver 5/6/2011 2:53:36 AM

@Jim Carver Hard to follow history when you kep rewriting it.
by radioguy 5/6/2011 2:54:07 AM

@radioguy low
by Jim Carver 5/6/2011 2:54:36 AM

@Jim Carver So true....and that's why I'm more concerned than ever about my nuke plant. They're saying San Onofre was built for a 7.0 but everyone in SoCal knows that an 8.0 is more than possible...if not probable.

@LM At some point..people always like to gamble--I guess it's in our nature.
by Jim Carver 5/6/2011 2:56:10 AM

@Jim Carver True. The fact that Japan, a country smaller than the state of CA, has 55 nuke plants is certainly proof of that.
by LM 5/6/2011 2:58:23 AM

@Jim Carver They do. They are rewriting the corporate history of this every minute.
by radioguy 5/6/2011 2:58:27 AM

@Jim Carver - Naomi Klein: Addicted to Risk, an excellent TED talk : www.ted.com
by bo 5/6/2011 2:58:54 AM

It worked beyond expectations for BP.
by radioguy 5/6/2011 2:59:12 AM

So has 4 always been leaning like that and the angle of the TEPPYcam masks it?
by radioguy 5/6/2011 3:00:06 AM

@bo OMG that memo is explosive! Everything that's been said on here, the things people have researched. TY This guy might really talk to us.
by marie rich 5/6/2011 3:00:14 AM

@radioguy Nope. The TBS cam has been up for a few days. This is the first I have noticed 4 leaning like that.

by bo 5/6/2011 3:01:16 AM

by radioguy 5/6/2011 3:02:13 AM

QUAKE, QUAKE AT Fukushioma Daiichi right now!!!
by estacion 5/6/2011 3:04:48 AM

@bo Thanks, I'll have to watch/read that later. The flash is on the fritz. Naomi Klein, that sounds familiar.
by Jim Carver 5/6/2011 3:05:42 AM

@estacion sure that isn't the heat waves?
by Nancy 5/6/2011 3:06:58 AM

@Jim Carver she wrote The Shock Doctrine, essential reading to understand recent politics (especially from an American point of view) and the brutal emergence of "market fundamentalism"
by bo 5/6/2011 3:07:21 AM

No heat waves, camera tremor like crazy, wait some minutes and quake service will announce it. :)
by estacion 5/6/2011 3:08:24 AM

hey, 2 and 3 seem to be smoking more
by marie rich 5/6/2011 3:08:59 AM

TBS cam new live one ?
by WolfDK 5/6/2011 3:09:36 AM

@bo 'Fundamentalists' tend to give me chill bumps :|
by Jim Carver 5/6/2011 3:10:08 AM

Yes, TBS one.
by estacion 5/6/2011 3:10:10 AM

Well, hell. not now. but a few seconds ago a big gout of steam came out of each, with a little bit of oomph
by marie rich 5/6/2011 3:10:18 AM

@estacion Link please ?
by WolfDK 5/6/2011 3:10:28 AM

There isn't link at this time, wait some minutes, quake service will broadcast it
by estacion 5/6/2011 3:12:10 AM

@marie rich Was that at the same time?
by Jim Carver 5/6/2011 3:16:59 AM

same time? Did they smoke at same time? within a second of each other
by marie rich 5/6/2011 3:18:14 AM

@marie rich About the time of suspected eq?
by Jim Carver 5/6/2011 3:18:55 AM

I just started watching the live TBS link yesterday. How long has it looked hazy, like a hot summer day with heat rising?
by Angela5pointo 5/6/2011 3:19:06 AM

what eq?
by marie rich 5/6/2011 3:19:19 AM

@marie rich We're not sure.
by Jim Carver 5/6/2011 3:19:48 AM

There was one earlier tdy rhat was a six, don't know the time
by marie rich 5/6/2011 3:19:58 AM

@Angela5pointo I have seen it on previous days. I think in the later day?
by Nancy 5/6/2011 3:20:09 AM

@AngelaSpointo currently here in Japan we are experiencing what we call "kosa." It is yellow sand from Mongolia and China and is large sand storms that blow across eastern Asia. It has cast a yellow murky thickness to the atmosphere here for several days and accounts for the hazy look on the webcam.
by bo 5/6/2011 3:20:58 AM

www.jma.go.jp Japan met.
by Angie 5/6/2011 3:21:08 AM

Ty Bo, I didn't know that. I knew it wasn't that hot there yet.
by Angela5pointo 5/6/2011 3:21:40 AM

@Angela5pointo sorry for the misspelling
by bo 5/6/2011 3:22:26 AM

that's ok
by Angela5pointo 5/6/2011 3:22:48 AM

Where are you located in Japan, Bo? Have you ever watched Katz @ Yokosonews. I was watching him every day for weeks until a couple weeks ago.
by Angela5pointo 5/6/2011 3:23:57 AM

Checking in before bed time, plan to back track a bit. Hope you all are having a good time where ever you are.
