Make that the U.S. and the U.K. My thoughts are with them :'(I posted this in the general news thread but still: If anyone from Japan and the Pacific area is reading, everyone in the U.S. is sending their hearts and prayers out to you. It's all we're talking about. Our government has pledged to do anything possible to help.

Depends on where that place is located.
It's inland and is pretty far from the Epicentre, which was 200 miless off the North Eastern coast. Iwakuni is in the south of Japan so yeah, I wouldn't worry too much. At worst there will be minor flooding.
e: 4chan thought it'd be funny to start trolling Japanese people about various instances of people dying. Gotta love those fuckasses.

Apparently the youtube eyewitness vid is being trolled too.
I think that is moment magnitud, not richter. There are actually 2 scales. Richter depends on distance and amplitude of wave. Moment is based on the amour of slip along the fault.

There were a ton of trolls on an Al Jazeera video that I was watching on YouTube. Not sure if they're from 4chan, but they showed many of the characteristics.

Thank you, professor, I don't know what I'd do without you -_-'
The devastion caused is catastrophic. The water flooded everything, and as I watched it on the news, it did not look like water, just a flood of bricks, houses, cars and debri, basically. This earthquake is devasting-4th on the worlds largest earthquake since records began, and Japan's worst earthquake ever. I can't even begin to think the cost of it it-financially, and the cost of losing lives, homes and everything.
I was told on the news that the value of the yen fell pretty hard.

It won't help that Japan's economy was already shrinking.
That would be misinformation. I know cuz' I live there. It started out like hat initially, but it rose and got stronger overtime, some places more than others. on average the islands experienced 6 feet (which is strong enough to injure someone) and the highest reported was a freak 11 feet on the Big Island. No casualties, thankfully, but there's some property damage, primarily boats, but some people lost their homes on account of them living on a boat. Several boats that were docked also ended up tearing up the dock they were tied to due to getting pushed and pulled and knocked around by the waves and each other. Also, some mild flooding in a couple of houses. It's not bad at all, which is great news, but we didn't get off scott free.
But yeah, the primary concern right now is Japan. It's horrible. I send my prayers to them. Hawaii has a strong connetion with Japan and many people, including myself, have friends and relatives or know people who have friends and relatives living in Japan.
Alongside the US and China, Japan was the only country whose economy grew last year, albeit by only 0.4%.
