Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
8.9 earthquake apparently gets some attention.
eta: I am seeing everything from 8.9 on CNN to 7.1 (and I am not sure that wasn't an earlier quake, or a newer one) on USGS have different numbers depending on their information.
Tsunamis are really terrifying to watch. Awful to watch too.
Oh, no, that is a big earthquake.
It's huge. And the accompanying quakes are really big too.
Gosh, that's scary. Japan is no stranger to earthquakes, but those are really really big.
It's the tsunamis that are terrifying me. And they're just beginning.
I think I am kinda sick. There is a massive tsunami hitting RIGHT NOW and the lady on CNN is interviewing someone and ... not mentioning it.
I mean, I am not certain but I think Japan is one of the best prepared countries for earthquakes both in terms of citizens preparedness and building codes. But there is going to be such destruction and, I fear, loss of life and ecology.
Yeah, with an island nation like Japan, it's the tsunamis that cause the worst damage.
Oh! Kilauea erupted a few days ago in Hawaii. I wonder if all that geological unrest is related?
Well lunar perigee is in a week or so. But then you have to look beyond "end of the world" freaking out to the fact that if you have stressors and a world that gets pushed and pulled by tides, there are going to be places that crack. The world is very geologically active.
Here's a link to a streaming feed of NHK World (English speaking) tv right now: [link]
I've got some script problems with it, but it's probably my security settings, you guys may do better with it. It's...kinda upsetting.
Thank you, Liese.
