[QUOTE=OvB;28540932]Any link? I looked and couldn't find anything for North America. I've heard them talk about Hawaii but nothing on the main land.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.weather.gov/ptwc/[/url]
[QUOTE=jaaaaymeeeen;28540941]I believe chile had a 9.something before. Regardless 8.9 is terrible.[/QUOTE] yeah I just looked it up, apparently there have been 6 that have reached 9.0 or higher (with the highest being 9.5) still awful :(
I heard it was 8.9... guess we're going to have some ambiguity for a bit. I wonder to what extent this will cause more idiots to think, "OMG END OF THE WORLD BECAUSE OF EARTHQUAKES" :downs:
Confirmed Tsunami Watch for Washington Oregon and California.

Kinda awkward but....My disabled brother actually had a seizure right about the time the earthquake happened. :tinfoil:
According to the live news feed my family in Nagasaki received a tsunami warning; hopefully they will be fine

Holy fuck, sucks for Japan. :v:
Oh fuck what about the bullet trains?
Unconfirmed report of a Tsunami Warning for Washington Oregon, dunno about California.
Jesus every TV channel here has it on the air. I`m literally on the otherside of the country so I didnt even feel the earthquake, but man this is incredibly serious. Theres going to be a large amount of casualties.
