“All across Northern Japan they felt it.” No. It was felt as far as China and Russia. I was in Tokyo when it happened and I still suffer mild PTSD from the severity of the shaking, along with the thousands of aftershocks.

how sad and horrible for the people, i live on the coast in louisiana, hurricanes, floods and tornadoes are a yearly threat, i've been through my share but nothing to that magnitude, i really feel for those people, i pray they never have to go through it again, once is enough for many life times, may god have mercy on their souls!:-)

@rj-zz8im 4 года назад

The only positive thing about this happening in this age, is the fact that we can see it for real, rather than just hearing accounts and reading written testimonies. Hopefully that will help people understand the severity that is possible with a tsunami. Absolutely incredible and horrific.

I can relate to this. People dont realise the damage the mother nature can do. I experienced 2004 Tsunami when it hit South Asia. I dont even wanna remind my self how it all went. All i will tell people is to listen to the experts and prepare for whatever is coming at you.

@user-bw3fl7fj9w 3 года назад

I still remember my teacher in my college/university earth science class tell us if you're ever at the beach and the water is quickly going out to sea...it means a tsunami is coming! That class was in the early 1990s!

When I was younger, it was the first weekend I hated. I was in school when the earthquake hit. On Saturday and Sunday, I was left stuck at the top of the building because we were kinda far from the coast so it took a while before they could reach us.

@felixcat9318 3 года назад

Actually, the tsunami inundated at its furthest to a distance of 6 miles inland and at its highest point reached 128 feet! A consequence was that officially designated tsunami evacuation safe location points and high structures were inundated, killing everyone sheltering there, including entire families.

@edenshorthousesthouse1925 Месяц назад

Earth quakes, put whacker plates to shame the ground can handle the friction, what the friction can be abstracted from the water to freeze the shallow water or even move it out to sea? Water weighs more in deeper depths also has more resistance to heat and cold this is why the bullet train to space is so sort after literally training would be using a bucket of water and hitting the bottom of it would it be possible just to freeze the part of the water which handles the quaking? It could lead to water levels dropping just use balloons space hoppers for the something to cut through the waves what goes up must come down you want a water fountain building

Whilst it is good that such video recordings exist, they serve only to emphasise the sheer power of nature being unleashed on vulnerable costal communities, and their immediate destruction! At it's greatest height it reached 128 feet and it surged inland to a maximum of 6 miles!
