2. Link? Never mind, I see the report in post #1.

How horrifying...

[cwydro]

6. Can't find it on cnn...

where did you find it?

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. BBC went to breaking news.

[cwydro]

9. Can't find it on any US sites

I'll try BBC

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. It's the weekend

No, sadly not kidding...

[tavalon]

33. That would be a foolish waste of you're time. Want reality TV, we,'re it

But news doesn't emanate from our bobble heads.

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. I just went to the usgs, I think they already

Cancelled the tsunami warning...this is about 250 km from Fuku, much nearer to Sendai.

[Bonobo]

5. Tsunami predicted to be only 50 cm

in Iwate
Miyagi
and Fukushima prefectures.

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. BBC went into breaking

Usgs had alert, primary, and cancelled on refresh

Incredible, watching BBC and checking usgs in Mexico city.

[malaise]

10. BBC is really on the ball n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. Yep

Usgs explaining the earthquake sequence.

[cwydro]

15. Please post a link if you can

I cannot find this anywhere

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. Try Reuters. Give me a minute

Also the usgs is up thread.

[Bonobo]

18. I live in Japan and turned on the TV. That is my source. nt

[malaise]

20. LOL

Stay safe :grouphug:

[cwydro]

22. Good lord, I was not doubting you.

I just wanted to read about it somewhere.

People are touchy on here. Sheesh.

[Bonobo]

26. My reply was not snarky. You are looking too deep.

You read something that was not there.

[gateley]

28. Did you feel it where you are? (Japan just seems so small on

the maps!)

[Bonobo]

29. No, I didn't even feel one recently in Wakayama which was much, much closer. nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. Here

[cwydro]

24. Thank you. nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. Takes a while

It just happened. Fuku was evacuated.

[cwydro]

27. I appreciate you finding it for me.

Again thanks.

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Oh that's why, the warning was released by the Japanese agency

Usgs did not...(BBC on right now)

[malaise]

4. Like they need another quake

Damn!

[Poll_Blind]

13. Live seismic activity with audible cues and video of this latest event (from sensors)

LIVE HERE
You don't have to watch it- just listen. The "burbles" are background noise. If you hear lots of beeps, like higher pitched beeps, switch back because the seismic activity is raising past baseline. And you can then visually see what's on the sensors.

From the same source, this appears to be a replay of the event as evidenced by sensors.

I apologize in advance if I am incorrect but I believe my representation to be accurate.

Here is what it looked and sounded like with a large tremor- note the very high-pitched, quick beeping. It's a real-time version of the YouTue video above which was sped-up and does not have audio.

on edit: only a few seconds apart, one is probably just an echo.

23. and 5 seconds a part?

don't know.

[pipi_k]

19. Just got the notification on my iPhone app...looks like

it was about 22 miles deep. Not really that close to the surface, thank goodness, but they sure don't need any more quakes of any depth out there.

:scared:

[itsrobert]

30. Android beats iPhone by 11 minutes.

LOL ;)

31. My pad has not chirped.

32. Here is reuters

(Reuters) - A strong earthquake jolted northeastern Japan on Sunday, and workers at the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant were evacuated after an alert for a half-meter tsunami was issued by the Japan Meteorological Agency.

The quake monitoring agency said the earthquake had a magnitude of 7.1 and occurred at a depth of 10 kms (6 miles) off the northeastern coast of Japan.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage, public broadcaster NHK said. The same area was hit by a massive earthquake and tsunami on March 11 which cut power to the Fukushima power plant and triggered a radiation crisis.
