hockeyville88 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 If I was a member of the government, military, or emergency services I wouldn't even know where to begin. There are no procedures in place to deal with a tragedy like this. It is so overwhelming to think of what needs to be done I guess this is where the human spirit soars though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarcasticPerson Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Not according to the NOAA: Lot of conflicting reports right now. I'm on a couple other sites but what the message I'm getting right now is that the US West Coast is under warning but we're fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markssscanucks Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Tsunami watch issued for Oregon coast A tsunami watch was issued for the coasts of Oregon, Washington and California as well as parts of Alaska. A wave is on its way from Japan and is expected to hit between 7 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. -- about 7:05 a.m. for the Washington coast, 7:12 a.m. on the southern Oregon coast and 7:24 a.m. along the California coast, forecasters say. Early predictions indicate a wave of less than 3 feet. That could cause low-level flooding, depending on the tides, as well as hazards for boaters, said Bill Steele, a University of Washington seismologist with the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network. "Stay away from the beach," Steele said. "Be smart about it. The water has a lot of power. Pay attention to your local emergency managers." http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2011/03/tsunami_watch_issued_for_oregon_coast.html Edited March 11, 2011 by markssscanucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucks.brad Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 from NOAA The following list gives estimated times of arrival for locations along the North American Pacific coast from a tsunami generated at the given source location. The list is ordered by arrival time starting with the earliest. Since tsunami speed is directly related to water depth, tsunami ETAs can be computed independent of tsunami amplitude. THE LISTING OF A TSUNAMI ARRIVAL TIME BELOW DOES NOT INDICATE A WAVE IS IMMINENT. The listed arrival time is the initial wave arrival. Tsunamis can be dangerous for many hours after arrival, and the initial wave is not necessarily the largest.

The Kassassin Train Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 My grandma is in hawaii... does anyone know where i can go to get updates about the tides there? I have friends on Twitter stating that Tsunami Warnings have been issued for them. He spoke with a friend on the phone. Taiwan now has issued Tsunami warnings as well...

hockeyville88 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 The Nikkei and yen have fallen already HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Japanese shares and the yen declined as a strong earthquake rocked the northeastern part of the country Friday afternoon. The quake had its epicenter 231 miles northeast of Tokyo, and had a magnitude of 8.9 -- upgraded from an early reading of 7.9 -- according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The benchmark Nikkei Stock Average (JP:NI225 10,254, -179.95, -1.72%) ended 1.7% lower at 10,254.43, taking a steep fall in the closing minutes of trade after the temblor was reported. The Japanese yen also lost ground, with the U.S. dollar(USDYEN 82.7600, -0.1600, -0.1930%) jumping to 83.27 yen, compared with the day's low at 82.75 yen and 82.92 yen the previous day. Not that it should be a concern right now. Saving lives is the most important concern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
