So, we'll all be living out Majora's Mask soon? Seriously though, I wouldn't be surprised if the moon crashed into us with all of the weird stuff going on.

Well it's a good thing I've already learned the Song of Time.

I'll look it up tomorrow (happy Mano?) so I can play it on my saxophone.

Oh wow. Atleast California isnt going to be affected by the tsunami.

I heard it's going to hit Oceania but I'm not sure. At least we have the mangrove swamps that can prevent from tsunami destroying. I'm hoping Micronesia to be safe.

Sendi Airport was completely immersed in water, an oil refinery completely on fire, people dead, it's an aweful thing, I hope everyone who has family on Honshu have made contact and everythings ok. It's hitting Hawaii right now, only 6 foot waves so far.

man , just watching the news and they seem to cant cool down some of their Nuclear reactors.

a few got auto shut down and was ok but its the cooling phase thats seems to be be taking way much longer. those reactors they use are what basically powers most of Japan as a whole as well. I hope they really be aight over there. Yeah i saw on the news as well what waves the tsunami was supposed to hit in Cali 30 something minutes ago when was to hit was just the same waves they are used to seeing and its also some ruff waves that surfers usually try to ride. but they still closed all the beaches just in case.

Spidermew · « **Reply #10 on:** March 11, 2011, 12:40:19 PM »

Closed beaches wont keep the surfers away.

hahahaha thats exactly what the news reporter dude said!

This is very sad...

This is some raw footage of what is happening over there, since maybe some don't realize just how devastating this is and why we need to find some way to help and pray for these people.

Keep in mind that this footage is not for the weak of heart...

This is some crazy stuff. My prayers go out to the victims. I know someone in Hawaii. Hope she's ok. My work had all of the TVs tuned to CNN. Japan looks like a Godzilla movie.

I just realized how insensitive that made me sound. I meant no offense.

No problem man. I'm sure everyone here knows what you meant. You are one of the good ones. We expect nobody to take this as a joke...

I was pretty annoyed today, someone said they got 'excited' about when natural disasters happened, that it was cool. Can they go on down to Japan and tell them that? They seem a little down right now.

LarsAlexandersson · « **Reply #16 on:** March 11, 2011, 07:29:10 PM »

Sendai........ Masamune Date! But i have to say it's a good thing that Harada & his team are safe + Ono too. I never heard about Niitsuma, is he fine.

Since last night, I'm checking about this. This is horrible (one of top five horrible earthquake since 1900)...

So nobody (or your friends, relatives, acquaintances) here living in Japan, right? Nobody here living in Tōhoku region (e.g., Aomori, Fukushima, Sendai...), right?

In addition, horrible earthquake happened in Nagano area also... If any of you tried to contact your friends (people who live in Japan), and couldn't get back message. Please use this.

This earthquake is horrible...

Spidermew · « **Reply #18 on:** March 12, 2011, 08:15:19 AM »

The worst part is theyve got like 5 or 6 Nuclear Reactors that are affected by this earthquake, that are on the verge of melt down. I heard it on the news, theyve been clearing pepole away from them, but just think of what could happen if they melt down.
If anything is going to screw up the planet, its those reactors if they dont get them cooled down before they blow.

SanjiSasuke · « **Reply #19 on:** March 12, 2011, 02:37:55 PM »

I've seen reports that Honshu (a huge Japanese island that Tokyo is in the center of) actually moved 8ft, and that the Earth moved on its axis 4 inches.

Massive force to do that.

Actually, some of the Japanese had a similar reaction. I was surprised though; they're so strong despite a disaster, always keeping a smile on.

I have some relatives over there (Friends, and my gf's family who were on vacation in Sendai) we can't still reach them by phone or email, fml.

Sorry to hear that. Our prayers are with them...

How much time do they have before those nuclear reactors meltdown?

Tha Lando ( Le CROM ) · « **Reply #24 on:** March 12, 2011, 08:05:55 PM »

dont know how much time they have but they are still trying to cool the one down. My 2 friends over there i grewup with werent near where the damage was the hardest, by the coastline, its basically wiped off the map. i saw footage and pics of the damage, catastrophic . they said its so many people missing and they havent even went into the areas where it was hit the hardest cause they cant. and its untold how many people are really dead cause of that. it was last estimated earlier when i saw it was 940 dead , hundreds injured and they still might get hit by another one .

this is very scary and this dwarfs Katrina many times over its been said. streets are on 2 different levels now, craters, total devestation to villages just gone! they didnt have much time to even get away, people were on roofs and some died while up there and other were on roofs but the tsunami just flatted the structures and the people just fell into the waves. i really hope they pull through this, my military friend is heading out to relief centers they have stationed closer to the coast but not too much inward cause of tremors that are still going to happen in more unstable areas of land. Please all in japan , you are in my prayers and stay safe and strong.
