The 2011 Sendai eathquake's tsunami edit

Latest comment: 13 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

It was cut down and the table deleated repeatedly. It was heavy in eastern the Kuril Islands, Hawaii and Santa Cruz, Wake Island and Midway Island. the rest was a non event, but the exspert's tsunami alert was real, and not a media hoax to up newspaper sales or smear campaing on the UN exsperts that predict them.

The tsunami edit

NOAA animation of the tsunami's propagation.

The earthquake triggered tsunami warnings and evacuations for Japan's Pacific coast and at least 20 countries, including the entire Pacific coast of North and South America from Alaska to Chile.[1][2][3] The tsunami warning issued by Japan was the most serious on its warning scale, implying that the wave was expected to be at least 10 meters (33 ft) high.[4] A wave that high was observed at 3:55 pm JST flooding Sendai Airport, which is located near the coast of Miyagi Prefecture,[5][6] with waves sweeping aside cars and flooding various buildings as they traveled inland.[7] The impact of the tsunami in and around Sendai Airport was filmed by an NHK News helicopter, showing a number of vehicles on local roads trying to escape the approaching wave and being engulfed by it.[8] A 4-meter (13 ft)-high tsunami hit Iwate Prefecture. A 0.5-meter (20 in)-high wave hit Japan's northern coast.[9][10] Reports indicate that the wall of water was higher than some Pacific islands, and the danger of tsunami flooding prompted warnings for almost the entire Pacific basin.[11] Several news outlets have reported that the death toll has risen to 1,300,[12] with some giving a number as high 1,600.[13] The United States West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center issued a tsunami warning for the coastal areas of California and Oregon from Point Conception, California, to the Oregon-Washington border.

The earthquake triggered a tsunami warning for Japan's Pacific coast and at least 20 countries, including the entire Pacific coast of America from Alaska to Chile.[14][15][16][17] The tsunami warning issued by Japan was the most serious on its warning scale, implying that the wave was expected to be 10 meters (33 ft) high.[4] According to Kyodo news agency, a wave that high was observed at 3:55pm JST flooding Sendai Airport, which is located near the coast of Miyagi prefecture,[5][6] with waves sweeping aside cars and flooding various buildings as they traveled inland.[7] Kyodo news agency has reported a four-meter-(13 ft) high tsunami hitting Iwate Prefecture in Japan. A 0.5-meter (20 in)-high wave hit Japan's northern coast.[9][10] Reports indicate that the wall of water was higher than some Pacific islands and the danger of tsunami flooding prompted warnings for almost the entire Pacific basin.[18]

In a statement to the press, an official from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said:

The United States West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center issued a tsunami warning for the coastal areas of California and Oregon from Point Conception, California to the Oregon-Washington border.[17] Residents in Seaside and Astoria, Oregon were notified by reverse 911 and sirens in early morning hours to evacuate low-lying areas; public schools were closed for the day.[19] In Crescent City, California, one death was reported from the tsunami with another person missing, along with significant damage to the local harbor.[20]

 
Estimated tsunami travel time forecast.

When the tsunami hit Guam, two U.S. attack submarines were pulled from their moorings but they were soon taken under tow.[21] The tsunami was as much as 6–7 feet high in parts of Hawaii with the surge reaching at least 100 feet inland on the south side of the Big Island but no damage was reported.[22]
