Re: Japan Earthquake and Tsunami


The consequences of this are quite far reaching, even if it doesn't end with a full melt down (right now, we're looking at 3 Mile Island levels of bad...an event that didn't lead to any adverse health effects). The potential for new nuclear power in the US is dead.

Lets hope it can't get worse.

And perhaps poke the GOP about their slashing of NOAA and FEMA funding....our west coast sits on a similar kind of geological mess. I thought we'd learned by now that the planet doesn't give a shit about where we live, it'll do what it pleases.

Tsunamis. Once there's a warning, dash up the stairs in any building over four stories. That's what I would do. But I wonder how much warning they got?

One wonders how much warning they could get in that short amount of time.

Heard just now that there is another reactor that has cooling problems and is a potential risk also.

They have really fancy warning systems in Japan.

Tokyo had nearly a minute of warning about the incoming quake, that may sound like little, but it's actually quite impressive for something that is highly unpredictable. It's not like a thunderstorm you can sort of guess at a day earlier and then see forming on radar.

Same goes to the Tsunami, they had about 15 minutes of warning.

Yep but yet it still wasn't enough time for them to prepare for the onslaught tides that undermined the substructure of that nuclear power plant...
