Well it's all over the news here Rolex, CNN has even shown video of the people at the nuclear facility talking about the cooling problems because of the lack of power to circulate the water in the cooling tanks, maybe there just not wanting to report it in Japan for some reason, and they did report a fire there.

Perhaps CNN is getting their information jumbled up.

Either way, Rolex, be sure to let us know if/how us commoners can help. Good to hear you're safe for now  :salute

I watched him on TV and that is not what he said in the news conference. So, I don't know what to say?

I'm in the middle of another big quake this minute. This is astounding.

I don't think so, like I said they had video of someone from the plant talking to people about the problems that they're having, and that things aren't going as planned.

Just saw what Rolex posted, you would know what he was saying better then me as you actually speak the language.

Either way whatever is happening at the plant I'm sure it doesn't pose a threat and they'll have it under control.

I hope the plant is OK, too!

Japanese, as a rule, stay pretty calm in situations like these.

Thanks for your concern, guys Appreciate it.  :salute

(I just watched a replay of the news conference and he simply said that people within 3 km were being evacuated in case there were any unexpected problems from future quakes or tsunamis, but there were no problems now.)

i heard estimated 300mph from that earlier video feed in hawaii...but the wave action in the camera didn't look any more than 30-40mph...dunno, could be talking about initial speed from the epicenter...  :headscratch:

Until it gets into shallow water it's roughly 500 mph.  Once it gets to the shallows, gravity and friction work against it and slows it dramatically.

Which then, as I understand it, cause the tsunami type waves.

Here are some photos: Link>>

One news agency is saying that about 90,000 people are reported as missing.

The large quake was 160 times stronger than the one that hit New Zealand last month. Maybe that puts it in perspective...
