The Tsunamis caused by this that might hit Taiwan etc. can be huge (5 to 10 meters). Or then just 10 cm high. How ever it's moving now 800km an hour.
The destruction is terrible (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xhj2ge_violent-seisme-d-une-magnitude-de-8-9-au-japon_news#hp-sc-p-1 http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xhj2ge_violent-seisme-d-une...)
I cannot explain in written how sorry I feel for the people living in the area.
- bhrgunatha 16y agoThe tsunami has already arrived in Taiwan - very little effect - I heard a report of 10-20 cm swelling - much less than it could have been - probably due to local geology. Philippine and Indonesian islands are probably more at risk especially low lying islands.
- koski 16y agoAuckland-based geologist Chris Buckley says the tsunami wave is on its way towards New Zealand at 500 or 600 miles an hour. I think soon it's hitting Hawaii. Let's hope it'll end as well as in Taiwan.
- koski 16y agoThe tsunami is expected to reach Mexico's coastline within three to four hours, the BBC Mundo's Alberto Najar reports. Ports in the state of Guerrero are now closed. In Baja California Sur, civil protection authorities say they expect no major damage.
- koski 16y agoGood news! Waves did not cause any damage to persons or property in Philippines.
