Our Richter scale list the earthquake as 8.9 while JMA list it as 7.9 or 8.4? Alright Google confirms it's 8.9.

The Tsunami waves are expected to hit Hawaii. 11,000 people are also being evacuated from the Russia coastland. It'll reach the US west coast around 7-8 am pst.
Telephones, power lines are down in Japan and supplies are being bought out in the convenience stores.
There were several aftershocks after the earthquake. Literally so much information is pouring out right now. They say its the largest Earthquake JMA has recorded. 20+ aftershocks after the initial earthquake with a 5.0 or greater.
The tip of Tokyo Tower has been bent from the severity of the Earthquakes.

Just because there's been an earthquake in Japan doesn't mean it's an excuse to use bad SPAG.


Also, did anyone know that-apparently-Ken Suigimori is one of the many people though to be on the list of deaths caused by these disasters?
