Wow, was okinawa e/a-ffected much? Cause I was there recently. And on a damage scale what is the quake actually ranked.

Oh and BTW, if you donate avoid shady organizations like red cross.

Yeah about California, it's not a matter of it but when.

Some reports have it within 30 years, others say in the next few years. Either way a decent one is on the way.

It'll likely only be in the 6s or 7s though, if that's any comfort. So not nearly as strong as this one.. but strong enough to rock your boats.

It's hard to think that an earthquake on the other side of the world was so hard that the water moved by it will be here in some hours.

What's scarier is that a magnitude 8.9 earthquake is about 1.41 Exajoules of energy. That's 1,400,000,000,000,000,000 Joules. I can't imagine being in the center of all that power. Truly a scary time for everyone involved.

If you remember the Christchurch quake a few weeks ago, the quake in Japan was about 1000 times more powerful than that.

There's been an explosion at one of the nuclear power stations. It's not yet known if this will result in a meltdown, as the reactor's container housing wasn't damaged.

BBC

On a happier note, the relief efforts have already nearly hit $200,000.

@Raylax: that info's been updated already. apparently not only was the housing not damaged in the explosion, they're saying that the radiation levels around the plant are decreasing and pressure in the reactor has dropped as well.

Damage I said, not richter, I believe it is called the Mercator scale, I was wondering because a country like that would have protection and building plans to prevent the worse.

I have a friend who lives in Japan. The power just came back a couple of hours ago, so now they can heat their place again.

Just in case anyone wondered, nothing happened here.
The so called tsunami everyone was so scared about turned out to be nothing more than a few tall waves.
i think the water level even got lower than usual
Seriously, TV scared everyone, they even cancelled the local whale festival....

Their also saying that the next big earthquake may hit California.

My wife is heading to California to visit friends in a week or so and she's a bit unnecessarily nervous about this very issue.

Various news sources have also cited the following earthquake created "issues":
The earth was shifted on its axis by 6.5"
The time of a day has been shortened by 1.8 millionths of a second.
Japan may now be up to 13 feet wider than it was before the earthquake.
A 250 mile stretch of the Japanese coast is now 2 feet deeper in altitude.
