tvashtarkatena Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) What water wants, water gets. You wouldn't think things would burst into flame, though. "My house burned down because it was hit by a tsunami" just doesn't sound like it would fly on an insurance claim.

j_b Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Horrific, but catastrophism doesn't mean we need "big government" regulating the construction industry or spending money on "overlord" government scientists to monitor tsunami hazard. Let the "free market" rule, cut the public budget, deregulate some more and it'll be fine (the free market tooth fairy told me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_b Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Mixed reports about the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant confirm that emergency battery power is being used to keep the plant’s emergency core cooling systems running. A mass evacuation suggests the possibility that radioactivity is being – or could be – released from the plant. Eleven of Japan’s 55 reactors are reportedly shut down due to the earthquake and as many as 6,000 residents are already being evacuated around the Fukushima Daiichi plant. http://www.commondreams.org/newswire/2011/03/11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvashtarkatena Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 There appears to be little danger of any kind of a radioactive release. Still, 'oceanfront reactors' might not be the best idea.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvashtarkatena Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 ME Sis reports from the center of Hokkaido that she felt a minor tremor - many there felt nothing.

I watch shit like this and am kind of energized and terrified at the same time at the power of nature and glad to be at a distance... kind of like watching a serac break loose... I've been in my share of 6.x magnitude quakes in Cali (and one here in Seattle) and can only imagine what kind of shit an 8.9 does. Footage of that water swell in Japan was mesmerizing.

G-spotter Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Didn't much look like Hokusai's Wave though.
