Re: Tsunamis spread after massive Japan earthquake
The 5th strongest in history if you go by the Richter Scale rating.
But then again when they say "history" that's only about 150 years that they had the means to measure it. I'm sure they were stronger ones before but no means to assess it.
Re: Tsunamis spread after massive Japan earthquake
Well is the strongest in my friends MIL's life and she's 78.
All the furniture in her Tokyo house shift, and all her prized collectibles fall on the floor and bruk up.
I guess an earthquake is only as strong as the damage it does to you.

Never would I even consider being drowned in the ocean while sitting in your house that's miles away from it. </div></div>
The camera man does the right thing and pans away as the wall of death hits the vehicles trying to escape. But you can only image the horror, not only for those in the cars, but for those in there homes..
Imagine even just the sound of that wall of death racing towards a person's home..

Re: Tsunamis spread after massive Japan earthquake
Worse still if you're in your house and it delapts your yard at 180mph and there's nothing you can do to stop it! Just hope that it will continue to float and not get crushed.

well so much for bunkers.. unless they also waterproof.
wonder if there will be an increase demand for armagedon type survival stuff ..
I may need to build a waterproof, titanium globe that floats in the wave and have some kind of anchoring mechanish that prevets it from being washed out to sea..
All that water that gone inland, will be returning out, with MORE debris.. building, bodies, etc..
