I saw that a tsunami struck NE Japan. You in another area?

I'm in Tokyo, so not so close to the sea.

The earthquakes were pretty bad, although i was joking earlier. I met an older grandpops on the street (about 70 years old, like musclecenter) who said he has never experienced such an earthquake....

Thanks a lot.

I'm fucking scared of aftershocks, not so much because of me but the family. Like i said, several earthquakes have hit the city, the earth trembles every 30 minutes or so...

I think we all will sleep in street clothes tonight to be ready to leave the house immediatly, if i can sleep at all that is....

Cool. No surprise about the old guy's comment - 8.8 is just nuts!

Well i think it was much less in Tokyo, the real damage occured in the north!

But it was the hardest earthquake ever to be recorded in Japan.

The big earthquake was long overdo, if THIS was it, i am really relieved. If an 8.8 earthquake hits Tokyo directly, i don't know what will happen.

Looks frightening, guess there will be lots of casualties...
Good luck over there.

So far it is 20, but it will surely rise over the next days.


I am at home, i have electricity and water, so i am still lucky, just afraid of another earthquake. In the north, it is snowing, this is really fucked up for the people there.

very few countries could take this kind of quake with such a low number of deaths (so far, lets hope its not more), i think the Japanese are quite prepared for this type of situation, Japanese people have been telling me that the country is long overdue a serious earthquake, like DK said if this it then the country has handled it well.

Yes, compared to China where 100.000s would die in such an earthquake, Japan took it well.

So far there are 40 something confirmed deaths, but i think there will be a few hundred overall, which is still a very small number.

Can you explain why?

[Schmoe Buster]

Can you explain why?

As far as i know, there was a very bad quake in Tokyo in i think 1923, since hen Tokyo had not had a really big one, there was a bad quake in Kobe in 1995 but Tokyo seemed to always avoid the big one, Japanese people believed that since Tokyo hadnt had a massive quake since the 20's that it was overdue one, not sure why they thought that but im guessing someone predicted the movements in the earths plates perhaps happening after so many years, DK might know more

Yes, if it happened in China,India or Pakistan it would be far far worse, Japan did take it well, and im sure knowing the Japs they will be back to normal in no time

I'm not an expert in this, but earthquakes seem to occur in patterns, the Tokyo region has one big earthquake about every 70 years if i am not mistaken.

The Great Kanto Earthquake was in 1923, and it killled over 100.000 people.
Everybody expected the next big one around the year 2000, so this one is 11 years later.

I see. Sort of like the earthquake equivalent of a 100-year flood?

The shock for the economy will be great, but i think the Japs will be back to normal soon. They knew it will happen, although you can never be really prepared for it.

Yeah, though i got it right, i remember when i first went to Japan in 1999 Japanese kept going on about the big one, well hopefully this was it

Not to sound like an ass but at least the Yen will drop a bit, its been far too high
