6.5 magnitude aftershock off the coast of Japan. That's a pretty brutal aftershock.

It is...

This looks worse every hour

Wow,angry water at 600 kilometers an hour,good luck to hawaii.

Let's hope there is not much damage,and then be prepared for all the hurricanes and cyclones this earthquake triggers.

An Earthquake wouldn't trigger a cyclone. There was a study last year about how strong tropical cyclones over the course of the hurricane season triggered the Haiti quake by deforestation and erosion. Nothing is known about a single earthquake triggering atmospheric phenomena like cyclones, although magnetic shifts could cause changes in atmospheric conditions.

There are people hanging out on the beaches in Hawaii. Dumbasses.

AP reports suggesting first waves have reached Hawaii.

US market futures have really recovered this morning, only down slightly now.

Reports coming in that the first Tsunami "waves" have reached the Hawaiian islands.

A 6-foot Tsunami doesn't sound too frightening, but that's a 6-foot wall of water, not a regular wave.

Last year there was that one Tsunami warning that hit Hawaii and as I recall it was 3-feet high, yet there was still some beach erosion.

Feel so sorry for all affected in the catastrophe.. I remember how bad things were during the 2004 tsunami.. this one looks way worser..

Oh crap, CNN is reporting a possible radiation leak at the coolant system-failed plant.

What would happen if we'd get to see another bigger quake in Japan?

Looks horrible really.

 

[DisturbedSaint]

Another quake?? Radiation leaks reported.. This is getting bad by the minute.. Shit.. :-(
