Quake

Japan Earthquake: 8.9 Magnitude Earthquake Hits, 13-Foot Tsunami Triggered  From The Huffington Post.  Excerpts:




This is close to the depth of the Christchurch quake, but the Magnitude is just so, so, so much more powerful..

Several quakes had hit the same region in recent days, including a 7.3 magnitude one on Wednesday.

Thirty minutes after the quake, tall buildings were still swaying in Tokyo and mobile phone networks were not working. Japan's Coast Guard has set up task force and officials are standing by for emergency contingencies, Coast Guard official Yosuke Oi said.

MSNBC just carried a Press Conference by the Japanese Prime Minister.  Standout passage?  He said it looks as if no radiation from Japan's Nuclear power plants has leaked.  That's comforting, I guess..

I'll go ahead and link Clif High's latest two posts from halfpasthuman to the related discussions soon to be taking place all over the world.  And, while I'm here, March 9th, 2011 is also the beginning of a new shift of consciousness.. 

8.8 Earthquake hits Japan, Tsunami Warnings issued

From The Examiner Spokane  Excerpts: 

An 8.8 magnitude earthquake has been reported out of Japan, and a tsunami warning has been issued for the country. The news out of the country is not good right now, especially with some of the statements that CNN has issued about cars toppling off bridges in the area.

I'm watching the tsunami rolling over farmland and populated areas.  The initial images are beyond description.  This one's gonna be heartbreaking..  Continuing coverage begins now.
