Tsunami warning for Japan

[Woodchip]

Interestingly a 12.0 on the Richter Scale would split the earth in two

Reminds me of a song.... It's the end of the world as we know it....

from the bbc who arent getting as excited as sky news are

Sky News wet their pants at most things.

When that Tornado was off Brighton the other week I got some video footage of it and email Sky and BBC - don't think the BBC ever came back to me but Sky were all over me like a rash. Unfortunately the reason I was still up from the night before rendered me incapable of compressing it into a suitable format to send to them in a timely fashion! Oh well.

9 is approximately 32 Billion Tonnes of TNT for the seismic energy field, whereas 8 is circa 1 billion tonnes.

first wave has hit, half a metre high

Isn't a 9.0 TEN TIMES more powerful than an 8.0? That's what I thought, that 1 extra mark on the richter scale makes something ten times as big. I may be wrong though!

Yep thats is right

second wave of 20cm hits an island

second wave of 20cm hits an island

A 20cm wave would just tickle you or I up to our ankles, but it's pretty damn fatal to most Japanese.

 

[Captain Pugwash]

20cm wave just hit at 9.55, pretty big relief all round japan
