that was a fucking big quake. I'm still shaking. A building is on fire in Tokyo.
Shit, the tsunami was over 30 feet high, you wouldn't believe the damage the ships are just being thrown all over the place ferries, fishing boats oil tanks houses people a school holy shit
can't use the phone the lines are taken for emergency use can only use this I want to call my family and tell them I'm okay I wasn't near the epicenter but miyagi prefecture is getting drowned like it was the end of days the pooor ppeople on the boats cant even get off theyre at the mercy of the waves
the tsunami warning klaxon jujst went off I7m not near the coast but the other teachers are now in the 30 oot wave zone they need to get to higher ground that whole area is going to be underweater
thank you folks, iam fine but my god the wave the wave the wave it swallowed everybody theres nothing left just a huge black wave covered all teh cars trying to run away all the truck the fields its jst black nothing but black fire everywehre all the houses are burning the ships are in the field people running thereis nowhere to go nowhere to go its all on fire and black the earth is still shaking here i cant believ what im seeing its worse than thailand my heart is pumpoing i cant leave
i feel like the reporter at the hindenburg tragedy what can I possibly say im not even in the area thank god thank god but watching people being swept away live on tb its just too sad it just gets worse and worse why arent the people running out of their cars onto the highway where its fucking higher than the wave????? get out the wave is both beutiful awesome and utterly terrifying do you embravce it or run away its equisit in the ocean beautiful white streamers and a long wave over the water but you know where its going you know what its going to pick up and who its going to kill and wouldnt you fucking know it its the seocnd wave following the first and just as high those people on teh roof iw onder what will happen
theres an oil holding area on fire, 16 tanks, ones on fire 5 others are smoking out the top the sendai airport is underwater cant even see the planes were they swept away to and you know what, its not just tokyo that was expecting a BIG ONE, Miyagi was also forecast for a big one, but I don;t know if this was the one or not. fuck THE ONE that is forecast for my are hasnt even happened yet, and will be bigger. This was almost a 9 on the richter scale holy effing hell
if bad news comes in threes the second quake just hit, also reallypowerful probably a 6 on richter those oil tanks another is spitting fire out its top, the black wave is still just marching inland and smoke boiling up from under the water that scene of the wave just advancing over the fields and smashing and absorbing everything it's still going. the electricity has completely stopped in the majority of the northern area of japan i wonder if the nuclear reactor that is sitting right on the ocean is okay. I'm starting to calm down but hell, im going to have to WALK home - 5 miles. I don't have my walking shoes on, either. oh well i was always curious to walk the distance guess I got my chance. The bullet train is stopped right outside the school, there7s no way for them to leave the train and none of the trains are running. been stopped for over 2 hours now, my husband managed to get through on the phone a miracle and told me he cant come home tonight form his business trip because the trains arent running he's in kyoto several hundred miles away. guess he is not walking, huh.
the second wave is going to hit the announcers are panicking
and here it comes its absolutely unbelievable, incredible wow antepathy can I borrow your lexicon i feel like the main character in "Contact" where she says they should have sent a poet the cars are trying to make it to higher ground and this wave is even bigger than the first the first one the port was above water, the cars parked taking it all in now that hwole area is submerged the fishing boats and trawlers just slamming up agains the bridge one just went underwater my god its now being swept into the buildings as iam watching oh its now been almost 3 hours since the originaol earthquake, the first wave hit within minutes, the huge black wave that swallowed the earth was only a little bit after that
a poor person was just swept away under debris, they were trying to stay on top
the warnings been given for evacuation on the coastal area where I live, those are long narrow inlets the wave will be even HIGHER in a place like that since the water is concentrated
it's now 5 p.m Friday afternoon I started writing this at hell icant remember maybe 2:30 pm? its incredible the wave that i just wrote about just pouring over the sea wall and carrying away stuff well hell its pulling back out and you would NOT believe how fast that water is sweeping away i have heard that the pulling out of the wave is almost as destructive as the beginning because its now sweeping all the debris back out and whatever was standing on the way in may not survive the wave pulling out because
one of the teachers just told me that the faster the wave pulls out the faster the next wave is coming you can see people standing on the roof of their cars theere was a car with its lights on swept out to sea
oh yeah those gas tanks theyre all on fire exploding as we watch in high-definitiion digital broadcast its awful theres nothing the firefighters can do to keep it under control fuck people just get the hell out of there its gone evacuate the factory the remaining tanks are all smoking out the tops, one is spitting fire and one of the teachers her area was just warned to evacuate she just gave a well wtf can you do kind of laugh and said well there goes my house. I think she:ll be okay because wow the untested tsunami gate actually DID come down in time to prevent the 5 foot wave from coming into the port area and thus the rest of the city at least my house is probably safe
wtf
