Looks like the tsunami warning is green (little to no risk except a couple local waves) now.

Duplicate threads already?

The tsunami warning is green already.

Tsunami has been observed. It's on its way now. Not yet to the coastline.

 

[NoahFence]

Don't blame me. Mine was 1st.

 

[William Parcher]

Simultaneous new threads. Posted at the exact same minute. I've asked to have them merged.

 

[William Parcher]

Aftershocks of 5.4 and 4.8.

 

[NoahFence]

Hopefully they put mine into the other one, as I sort of spelled it wrong.

 

[gerdbonk]

Tsunamis of 30cm to 90cm reported observed at various locations. Warnings of tsunamis of 3m still in place.

Japan Times: According to NHK, cooling equipment for the spent nuclear fuel pool in the reactor No. 3 of Tepco's Fukushima No. 2 power plant has stopped.

Kyodo: Fukushima police say a fire broke out at petrochemical complex in Iwaki, Fukushima, but was extinguished 25 minutes later.

Oh, ****!

Edited for Rule 10. Partial masking is not allowed. Do not try to circumvent the autocensor.

I'm watching a live camera of the entrance to Fukushima port. Something has changed with the water in the past 3 minutes. No apparent waves, but it now looks like water flowing into the port. Like a big slow river.

 

[William Parcher]

There is also a rising tide that normally occurs now in this area.

 

[William Parcher]

Oh, ◊◊◊◊!

Reports say that the cooling was shut off by engineers as precaution.

 

[William Parcher]

Now that "river" of water I was watching has reversed direction. Like the port is emptying of water now.

 

[William Parcher]

Japan has revised from 7.3 to 7.4.

Now live reports saying deaths from tsunami have occurred.

 

[William Parcher]

Water flow reversed again. I don't know if I'm seeing normal tidal behavior.

Along with the live camera is verbal reports translated to English. I don't know how to confirm anything. I've heard them say deaths one time. Now seems to be new warnings for prefectures which weren't warned before. Something now about alarms going off at a nuke plant because of falling water level.

 

[William Parcher]

Now tsunami waves arriving in places at 140cm.
