Live video of English translated NHK.

Some good news. The time for a tsunami has passed and there has been none. The Nuclear plants are still working. No deaths reported, just injuries so far.

Thanks JJJ`s. Indeed, i guess we can consider that very good news, but man, it`s just a tough situation, isnt it? my thoughts and prayers continue to be with Japan.

Ancient Tsunami Warnings Haunt Survivors In Japan

MIYAKO, Japan — Modern sea walls failed to protect coastal towns from Japan's destructive tsunami last month. But in the hamlet of Aneyoshi, a single centuries-old tablet saved the day.

"High dwellings are the peace and harmony of our descendants," the stone slab reads. "Remember the calamity of the great tsunamis. Do not build any homes below this point."

It was advice the dozen or so households of Aneyoshi heeded, and their homes emerged unscathed from a disaster that flattened low-lying communities elsewhere and killed thousands along Japan's northeastern shore.

Hundreds of such markers dot the coastline, some more than 600 years old. Collectively they form a crude warning system for Japan, whose long coasts along major fault lines have made it a repeated target of earthquakes and tsunamis over the centuries.

The markers don't all indicate where it's safe to build. Some simply stand – or stood, until they were washed away by the tsunami – as daily reminders of the risk. "If an earthquake comes, beware of tsunamis," reads one. In the bustle of modern life, many forgot.

Fukushima's evacuation zones (30km) has 4 times the radiation of Chernobyl. And expect rice prices to soar given the partial stop in domestic rice production in Japan. More higher food prices.

Dear god.

I'd like to know if dumping cements into the crippled nuclear power plant is an option. If it can stop the fuel cells from overheating, even if it means the power plant will no longer be operational, it's still a worthy option to consider. Weeks passed and still no resolution to this crisis...it's very troubling.

Oh man, this just keeps getting worse

That's amazing. Despite all of the amazing technology at Japan's disposal, 600 hundred year old tablets saved the day. Makes you think

Magnitude 6.3 - OFF THE EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN

 

[Duke]

OMG!!! My prayers are with Japan for a speedy recovery.

 

[Wolfwood]

I wonder if that one will cause any waves. The last one had a much larger magnitude, right?

Yeah, the one from march 11 was a 9.0. Still, a 6.3 is significant, and even Chile had a 6.2 on wednesday. Plenty of shaking going on. I look at the list of latest earthquakes and i see we've had 5 in my country today thankfully, not strong enough to be felt by anyone apparently, and i hope that trend remains.
