The US Geological Survey measured it at 8.9. The tsunamis around Miyagi, Fukushima, and Sendai were well over 7 meters with the larger ones over 10 meters.

The "big one" that well overdue has not hit Tokyo it. The epicenter of the one that hasn't come yet is predicted to be in the Kanagawa (Yokohama) prefecture.

The videos of ships being pushed a kilometer inland in Iwate are bone chilling. Cars, homes, and containers look like bobbers in the water.

The damage must be in the trillions of dollars...

The only effective way of detecting people under the rubble - it's infrared camera
Оnly amphibious military hovercraft can travel on the destroyed roads and deliver food and medicines and to evacuate large groups of people.

MIKE, please let us know how you are! concerned! Here in hawaii we're still under tsunami watch, but expect nothing. the waters are too deep around hawaiian islands - we got a 4 ft water rise which receded. It did hit some store front windows on the beach level, flooding stores. Nothing like what Japan got.
Please update us! Aloha, Cindy
