Lets just hope the worst of the troubles are over and they get power back to the coolant systems at that reactor before it gets too far along.

Yea sensationalism ftl

This is why I try to get my news via other internets sources.

It's still a crazy video to think that wave travelled across the entire ocean.

The news usually does turn things up to 11, but this tsunami did "slam" the west coast. There is some amazing footage from a marina in Santa Cruz where 3-4 ft. waves were tossing the boats around and damaging the docks. Also a guy (albeit a darwin award nominee) died in California when the tsunami swept him out to sea.

I know that spot in Emeryville as I've driven past it a couple hundred times and I've never seen anything like that before. Not as dramatic as some of the other footage out there, but still extremely interesting.

WHOA! HOLY FUCKING SHIT! 3-4 FOOT WAVES!! OH MY FUCKING GOD!

Nothing like a mild tropical storm brushing the eastern seaboard to generate a three foot wave. Now, granted... 3-4' waves inside a marina is cause for alarm, generally they're supposed to be sheltered ports.

Supposibly Crescent City's harbor, near the California/Oregon border got it worse. There's a cool time lapse video of the tide rushing into the harbor in a matter of seconds.

Re: Japan Earthquake in San Fran..


The incredible thing is, this wave was generated by an event over 5000 miles away. It traveled the whole way across the Pacific Ocean and affected a continent on the other side of the world.

Whether it was labeled "small" or not, this is an amazing event.

There's nothing to stop the wave. So, you generate sufficient force to create a big-ass wave, and since there's precious little to stand in its way, it's got nowhere to go until it hits something (or other conditions are met like subsurface temperature changes, amplification becoming too great to support the wave thereby causing it to topple, etc).
