Japan hit by powerful earthquake

[Necronus]

I'm pretty sure they knew this was coming all day but:

An estimated 6.6-magnitude earthquake has struck Nagano and Niigata prefectures in Japan, Kyodo news service reports.


Edit: Slow. Didn't see the thread roll to page 12.


Edit 2: I'm no geologist but I assume this was completely expected due to the U shaped plate on the north end of Japan. I assume the plate to the right of it shifts and causes the right side quake (apparently upgraded to 9.0 now) and I'm not sure of the exact position but this 6.6 is on the left side as some kind of inevitable aftermath of the first? Or is it completely unrelated?

mmhmm another quake on the west of Japan.

As for the one last night, I was actually on a Skype call with my friend in Tokyo as she was waiting for her parents at a train station, you could hear the rumbling of moving buildings before it got cut off. I was really worried since immediately afterwards the news started to crop up on twitter/BBC and the phones would not reconnect but.. this is where sites like Twitter come in really handy to get in contact with people. Took her like 3 hours to find her parents and another 4 hours to get back home on the other side of the city It was really surreal, and worrying. Some of the news footage from the tsunamis has just been.. well, it looks completely amazing until you remember how many lives must been lost because of it.

Sorry, had to.

[Correction]

It looks more like Blanka's U2 or Dictator's U2 than metsu, if you rotate it around.

The recent quakes are really nothing compared to the dozens of aftershocks they've had:

A 7.2 2 days ago!

I like how theres a stray orange strand towards northern CA on the tsunami data. Also seeing everyone else in hell after laughing hard at 8.9/10 pic haha.

Crescent City got a tsunami warning due to it being a very low-elevation town.

Man this is insane.... at least when you have a hurricane it comes once and then ends.... unless its like Allison and stays over top of you and rains for a week causing mass flooding.

such a cool picture, they should leave the road like that to encourage safe driving

No Godzilla references? But yeah, sucks for Japan. Meanwhile in LA: What a beautiful day, it's around 68ish F? Even if shit is blowing up, places sinking, fire and brimstone around, California will still be around and kicking. Oh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.

Nah, i won't say this is the greatest one. Because JC staff got their whole workshop destroyed by tsunami/quake. Which there is a high chance that toaru mahou index had to delay indefinitely

[Mistress Stowastiq]

The photo of the split road with the split on the orange line is eerie. I wonder if it split down the line because the weight is always distributed on both sides? Makes me wonder.

Authorities in Japan are planning to release some radio active vapor to relieve pressure but it is not supposed to be dangerous.
