Oh god, I just found out that this is the second large quake to hit Japan in a row. They were hit with a 7.2 quake yesterday, it hit the island of Honshu(which, for those who don't know is the largest island that makes up Japan), just like this one did.

CNN is saying that this is the 7th most powerful earthquake on record. My best thoughts are with everybody effected by this disaster.

That's got to be what hell looks like, it's like, you're watching it on TV but it's hard to believe that that's actually happening somewhere. CNN says 8 people are confirmed dead and people are still missing.

Stuff like this tragedy really make you think that maybe alot of what counts as big news in our country this year pale in comparison.

They were hit with a 7.2 quake yesterday, it hit the island of Honshu(which, for those who don't know is the largest island that makes up Japan), just like this one did. CNN said there were TWO that hit Honshu before this one; on in the 6.8 range and then the 7.2 one you spoke of. Regardless, even just ONE beastly quake of that magnitude would be HORRIBLE....I....my thoughts are with those who are there and I pray they make it through safely.

My great grandmother, who I've never met, is under evacuation orders. i have friends in Honolulu who are sprinting for higher ground.
If you pray, please pray. If you don't, just spare every good vibe you can to these places. It may not help. but it certainly won't hurt.
Going to try and sleep now. We'll see how that works, I guess.

Even worse, Al Jazeera English, in their live coverage just said Japanese authorities are expecting ANOTHER strong quake to hit.

And now the ticker on Al Jazeera English(I'm watching their live coverage on YoutTube, btw), just said the Red Cross' biggest concern is tsunami waves taller than cities. Correction, not taller than cities, taller than some Pacific islands! O______O

I'm on the USGS Website, YouTube, and have CNN on over my shoulder.
Sweet holy motherf***...this is going to be horrible.
Again, if you pray, please pray. If you don't, send every good vibe you can to those who need them right now.

Oh f***......Al Jazeera English just said the tsunami WILL hit the Hawai'ian Islands....in about 4 hours. So we know it is coming, nothing we can do about it, and all we can do is wait for it to hit and see the damage.
With some of the waves being said to be higher than islands, this could be very bad.

Good god...
My prayers go out to everyone affected by the quake...and those yet to be affected by it. I pray for as little damage as possible from any more tsunamis.

Now the Japanese media is saying the confirmed death toll has risen to 19, but the Japanese government said only 5 have officially died.

...And my parents are in Hawaii. f***. Brb frantically calling my mommy and daddy D: Dear god. My heart goes out to you, and your family. As well to all other Crappers on the California coast, Hawai'i, New Zealand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and any other country in the danger zone.

It is being reported that the earthquake at its epicenter is 1000 times stronger then the one that occured in New Zealand last month. A thousand.
