It was apparently revised down to 6.5. They've dealt with much bigger in the past, and the tsunami looks to have been pretty minor.

Can this year, hell, day get any worse, at all?

Holy shit thats near me. Was wondering why mine and my wifes phones went apeshit at 6am. [QUOTE=Megadave;49111710]Friday the 13th[/QUOTE] It's Saturday the 14th here. My phone alarm: ;[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/RrjVTpb.png[/IMG] Basically says earthquake is occuring of the coast of Kagoshima prefecture (the southern tip of Kyushu about 250km south of me) and to be aware when it arrives here.

Well that's what life is like living above a subduction zone

This is just ridiculous at this point, [I]god damn.[/I] What a terrible day.

Good to see though that the US is trying to get something of their own set up eventually in California.

[QUOTE=Cinnamonbun;49111667]What a shitty day. Friday the 13th man, Friday the motherfucking 13th.[/QUOTE] You know it was 14th in Japan when it hit right?

Apparently it's tiny right? 1Ft or so?

[QUOTE=Megadave;49111710]Friday the 13th[/QUOTE] Is everyone just going to start getting extremely superstitious now because this shit just happened to happen Friday the 13th?

[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;49113362]Is everyone just going to start getting extremely superstitious now because this shit just happened to happen Friday the 13th?[/QUOTE] And besides, it DIDN'T. It happened on Saturday the 14'th.

[QUOTE=_Axel;49114751]Started on Friday the 13th, 10 pm.[/QUOTE] Then how come the article says it started 5:51 a.m. [editline]14th November 2015[/editline] You do realize Japan is in UTC+09:00, right?

People were going apeshit over this, saying stuff like the nuclear power plant near where the earthquake happened will go bad or something like that. Come on now, this isn't Fukushima.

Wait we had an earthquake today?

So that's why my friend was trying to call me. Luckily Tokyo is on the other side

I remember working in the Hospital one time around 3 am and it's just me and my nurse. Suddenly the entire Hospital starts shaking and we just look at each other dumbfounded until it stops. Turns out it was a 6. Something quake, the most damage was a clock fell off the wall. Moral of the story is that every Quake in Japan isn't breaking news, happens all the time.
