I live in Tokyo.
My room was trashed when I got home.
My $3,000 mint-condition Yamaha MOTIF XF8 was thrown on the floor and my PC monitor laying face down, monitor scratched from the ride.

This was outside my room:

your monitor looks like a hot water heater!

how olds your bldg? just curious

Asians love ducks

That’s the building next to mine.
Mine is 2 years old and earthquake-proof.
Not that they really tested that yet…

Dam has ruptured in NE Japan, homes washed away.
All Japan ports closed.

Oh and radioactive gas may be released:

1841: The situation at the nuclear reactor at Fukushima seems to be worsening. Japanese authorities are now to release radioactive vapour to ease pressure, AP news agency reports. Engineers are trying to fix the cooling system to the main reactor, damaged in the quake.

My building is supposedly Chevy Tough, but the buildings around it are fairly old.
Even if an earthquake does not bring my building down directly, I am worried about the neighboring buildings falling into my building. Especially since they are so close you can just step over to them.

watching news in Bay Area

definitely increased activity
can see some boats that got damaged and swept away in Santa Cruz

people going out at fort point under the Golden Gate bridge to surf

water level rising and falling significantly every few minutes all around the bay

ah thats good my man
my landlord is in thailand right now. *******. i dont get to find out about my **** til someone else can swing by and check it out.
do me a favor, if you hear anything about ishigaki lemme know

goddamn trickster gotta make the earthquake all about him... attention whore.. look at me i am in japan... me me me me..

so ya if santa cruz is getting some moderate sea level rise some of the less sheltered places should get it even worse. like crescent city.

Well, the media sure isn't going to cover him, they only show you what you WANT to see, not the boring inane **** that he wants you to see.

Ishigaki isn’t being hit to my knowledge.
If you are having difficulty in calling someone, it is just because everyone is calling someone right now.
I saw a few people talking on phones but most were just staring at them trying to get a call to go through.

Cry me a river Vet++.
I have plenty you want to see. But no reason to share.


L. Spiro

Not much news from there, not much twitter action either.

hehe

By the way who is up for Monday Night Combat?


L. Spiro

Eh? I have been here for 4 years. I thought you were in Thailand. :O

When did you get here?

I am moving to Hawaii in 10 days...


I am pretty sure Okinawa is fine LGBR. ;)

Time for me to try and get some sleep...

wow, just saw more footage of santa cruz

I know we saw it coming for hours but it's still amazing how much of an effect it can have thousands and thousands of miles away

wait.. Ca is getting hit already? Lastnight/thismorning they said in 24 hours.

Been here making video games for 2.5 years.
So we better meet up before you go then. Like tomorrow. I have a movie audition Sunday, then work until next weekend.

and im not tryin to call her, shes at a resort just off the island - no phone or internet there. she'll have to take the ferry to ishigaki and then lemme know but from what im hearing theres literally no damage outside of the sendai metro region which is pretty ****ing awesome.

21 hours to reach Chile/south of South America.
Come on kid.


L. Spiro

Wasn't talkin' about you bro, why's it always got to be about you?

:chill:

This site has over 100 pictures.

However she is not safe any many of the islands, even in the south.
Many of the waves are larger than some of the islands.

TOKYO (AP) - Japanese authorities will release slightly radioactive vapor to ease pressure at nuclear reactor whose cooling system failed.
The failure occurred after a power outage caused by Friday's massive earthquake off northeastern Japan.

Japan's nuclear safety agency says pressure inside one of six boiling water reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant had risen to 1.5 times the level considered normal.

The agency said the radioactive element in the vapor that will be released would not affect the environment or human health.

Really worried about that nuke plant. I heard on cnn with the amount of material still in that reactor, a meltdown would be worse than chernobyl.

Why not?


L. Spiro

do you think michael j. fox would've noticed the earthquake

Any word which way the fallout would drift?


L. Spiro

i heard on cnn that if a terrorist detonated a nuclear bomb in downtown new york it would be worse than hiroshima

Stop signing every post you ****ing spaz

directly toward monster island

Fling :D

robots

-Flyersfan

meltdowns dont happen in phase 3 and above nuclear reactors
and certainly not in ones built to western standards

meltdown at 3 mile island did absolutely **** all, BESIDES ruin nuclear technology in america for 4 decades (and also destroy any chance at a viable space program)

another 6.6 aftershock just reported in Japan

jesus

I doubt we'd see the same issues that the Russians experienced with their meltdown, where their primary containment dome actually tipped over because of poor construction and materials.

I certainly wouldn't want to be working there right now though.
