Aftershocks. The area is going to shake for weeks, and they could easily reach in to the 8.0+ range.

***8206;8.8 is a big deal. top 10 in the world. Tsunami a big deal too. But Japan is built with earthquakes in mind, and people forget this. Fire damage, flood damage, ya it happens. But collapse is the worst and it looks like it was mitigated sufficiently

There were two ~6,5 magnitude aftershocks 100km away from Tokyo already. Except more to come. They just also said that more 8+ magnitude quakes are expected.

pretty amazing that more buildings didn't go down

I'm astonished at how well it held up
I know they plan for this but this was an 8-point-****ing-9 earthquake at a shallow depth and close to one of the most populous areas on the planet

that is is unimaginably powerful

holy **** it's mass panic in hawaii.

streets are littered with cars, gas stations, it's insane.

traffic is insane.

I can't use my ****ing phone to call anyone.

Tsunami warning for the US west coast.

Town of Kurihara has been completely destroyed.

Wikipedia says they had a population of 77,012 in 2008!!!!

Well, like I said, many tall buildings have been built with quakes in mind. They are prepared for this.

In China they have huge earthquake simulator just for testing this ****, it used to be only one in the world. Not sure if more have been built

If this does end up doing lots of damage to Japan it won't be right away. Japan's infrastructure is set up to resist even huge quakes, but they use a lot of wood construction. Past quakes have initially done very little damage in Japan, only to have the firefighters unable to keep up with all the fires caused by aftershocks, leading to entire towns burning to the ground.

****.

I just emailed my boss I am not coming in tomorrow.

I am now scared.

Japan will fully recover in like 3 years. Meanwhile, there's still a huge blank spot at ground zero.
