Tohoku Earthquake, Tsunami and Nuclear Disaster!!!

[matsuki]

can't I bang a lemur without getting interrupted by an earthquake?!! She was all scared.....
















....and then came the earthquake!

[canman]

Man that was long and strong! We have no power and have a tsunami warning. I am leaving now will write later.

Shit man, stay safe!

[Coligny]

If they want to promote sales of food from these areas there is an exceedingly simple thing they can do to make it happen: Install Geiger counters in the stores so people can test the food themselves.

I should have patented dat' idea...

Godspeed!

I installed this


To cover half properly the building I had to put no less than 6 for 4 floors...

But with the thickness of the walls only NHK radio can be received reliably (instead of the local radios who might not relay all the alerts nationwide)... And 5 minutes ago all the alarms went on... (lose lose situation)

And as usual with our new updated standards instead of

7.4 !!!! guys run for the hills...

It's more like

Cool no worries, just'a 7.4

This little M7.4 "aftershock" was bigger than '95 Kobe quake.

Also, a 6.5 magnitude earthquake hit Mexico just now!

Onnagawa nuclear plant has apparently lost external power to two of the three reactors.
Edit- 2 of the 3 external power sources are down.

[nullpointer]

What did one tectonic plate say to another after the quake?

Not my fault!

[Yokohammer]

Holy crap!
I'm getting a little tired of this!!!

Power's out again, but my UPS is still up.
Another sleepless night, methinks.

(It was 5+ in Watari, they say ... waiting for the upgrade ...)

[Mock Cockpit]

NHK world, it's a bit unclear whether the plant had been shut down since March 11 though. I'm a little confused.

Yeah, wikipedia report the plant as being in cold shutdown since the March 11 quake.

And Reuter say they won't restart before summer:

But it seems that Tepco can manage a radioactive meltdown from anything more dangerous than bottled water...

[damn name]

Live report by NISA was no damage there, and Fukushima was not affected either. Thanks for info. We can take a breath, now

(Even after shutdown, continuous cooling is required for months)

[Taro Toporific]

Are we pole shifting yet?

Finish your vegetabuls furst...

[Coligny]

The footage of -somewhere- when the quake strike with lightning blasts, explosion and lights getting dark is quite impressive

[Yokohammer]

2 hours and the UPS is still up!

I'm kind of impressed.

So, what's all this talk about pole dancing?

[Coligny]

Better footage from NHK weurld:

[GomiGirl]

BBC had some doofus on the phone. How do they find these people or do these people call in trawling for their 15 minutes.

HAARP? Is that you? That ball of light looks familiar.

Power back on at 4 AM!
Only 4-1/2 hours. A bit better than 5 days last time.
Didn't lose water this time either (except for the people who pissed their pants).

People are noticing that the largest aftershock has often occurred 26 days after a large quake.

EDIT: A couple of examples:
* 1983, central Sea of Japan, M7.7 -> 26 days later M7.1.
* 1993, off the southwest coast of Hokkaido, M7.8 -> 26 days later M6.3 .
There are more but I couldn't be arsed right now.

Must be the "monthly cycle" thing...

[Coligny]

1 month ago the biggest full moon, now this... getting difficult not to think that the gravitationnal pull that give us tides don't help also a bit to trigger quakes when they are already packing up steam...

Have to go, i think i've seen a shape shifting reptilian GW Bush in mah parking...

Really 'Hammer, you have power? Nothing here yet. Not sure what today will hold for us. I'm guessing no schools will open. Oh well I'll try and catch up on the sleep I lost last night.

Yeah, isn't that a bummer! I didn't even get to my use my new generator!
No power in Hachinohe yet eh? You have water?

I know how you feel sleep-wise. I think I got about 30 minutes at the most. Feel like a zombie.
