Haiz !!

 

.Japan issued its top tsunami warning after a massive 8.8 magnitude offshore quake on Friday, with reports of 'numerous' injuries and ships being washed ashore by waves.

 

The US Geological Survey upgraded the quake to 8.8 from 7.9.

 

Numerous injuries were reported by police in Japan's Miyagi prefecture and there were reports of scores of cars floating in Iwate prefecture harbour.

 

The meteorological agency issued its top-level evacuation alerts for the entire Japanese coast, warning of a tsunami of up to six metres (20 feet).

 

A tsunami warning was issued for Japan, Russia and the Mariana Islands, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.

 

The quake struck about 382 kilometres (237 miles) northeast of Tokyo, the US Geological Survey said.

 

Smoke could be seen rising from a building in Tokyo port.

 

Shinkansen bullet trains stopped when the quake struck.

I know its bad to say this..

 

I recall there is a post that says hookers in NZ had an increase in income due to foreigners de-stressing while helping in NZ quake.

 

Will Japan experience such "phenomenon" too ?

@stcom Damage reports from the 8.8 magnitude earthquake: Flooding, stopped trains, buildings on fire..

 

Don't need so panic la.

These are just part of natural occurrences and nothing particularly out of the norm. [sweatdrop]

Anyway the epicenter is 120km off the eastern seaside and hopefully not much damage or casualty.
