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.
Whoah! That sounds like a huge quake! Damn, I was just doing the pre-bedtime check one last time...and there's really news! Eek.
Oh, Miyagi Prefecture looks awful. I don't have the bandwidth to keep watching all night.
My Hawaii people say the tsunami warning for them is 3 am their time, so that's what, 6 am for me, 5 board time?
I know, meara! I was just getting ready to head to bed, but now I'm all upset.
Does Japan use a different scale, not Richter, for earthquakes? I am seeing wildly different numbers reported. It doesn't change what happened, clearly. But it is confusing me and since I can't do a damn thing else...

Yes.
I think it's just early, so the reports are inconsistent. It'll probably be a clearer picture in the morning.
USGS is saying 8.9, which is consistent with the report you heard earlier, right?
China got hit too. I presume same earthquake?
USGS is saying 8.9
Yes.
They only had a 7.1 earlier that I could clearly see. Though that could have been the aftershock showing more prominently. They had the 6.8 pre showing too.
Man, that is a big earthquake.
And I should learn to navigate beyond the shakemap.
