Damn, I've been keeping tabs all day. Glad that so many countries offered help. Now if only the US and the war they are fighting pause for 5 FUCKIN' MINUTES to assist in some way. We all live on the same damn planet, one country gets hurt, we all feel it in the end.

Okay guys, don't worry. The Japanese is the best country in the world when it comes to earthquake preparations. The population is extremely well trained. Video of training.

[QUOTE=ColdWave;28549246]Is it over or is it still at 9.0?[/QUOTE] 9.0 is the height of the tremors, they wouldn't still be going now. [editline]11th March 2011[/editline] Hell, imagine the ground juddering that much for 12 hours.

Anyone have a rough guess on the amount of people dead from both the quakes and the tsunami combined?
Here are the latest earthquakes felt all around the world. [url]http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.html[/url] Seems like theres been something like 40-50 aftershocks in Japan since the big one, and all of them are over 5.0, some getting up to 6.6. Quakes have been felt near Hawaii as well.

[QUOTE=tier56;28549320]Christ, thats terrible. Anyone have a rough guess on the amount of people dead from both the quakes and the tsunami combined?[/QUOTE] I would go for thousands.
Yeah, I remember someone posting that already a thousand were confirmed dead.

[QUOTE=crazysack;28549535]Just read on one of the news sites: apologies if late.[/QUOTE] Possible volcanic activity increase? Though it's all probably underwater. Still, it'll be bad for the ecosystem.
[QUOTE=crazysack;28549535]Just read on one of the news sites: apologies if late.[/QUOTE] Damn. I'm having a hard time contemplating what that would even look like or what that means for the people near the area.
