[Fatpigwarrior]

[Frenzyn]

I joke woke up, i was wondering the same thing because my homepage is google, and on google it says:
"Tsunami Alert for New Zealand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Hawaii, and others. Waves expected over the next few hours, caused by 8.9 earthquake in Japan."

[Frenzyn]

Hawaii is going to get hit at 3:07pm they've proven! i just saw it on CNN! Anyone who is in hawaii i would book my *** outta there on a plane.
Also about 50 were dead, apparently. not that much, actually considering it was the biggest in 140 years. But thats still horrible.

[Ellyidol]

I think the Philippines is safe.

Called family and it was supposed to hit about 2-3 hours ago, nothing happened, thank God.

OMG if that happened...
Good luck to everyone in with warning and hope people in Japan are all right

[Frenzyn]

Hawaii will be hit in less than 15 minutes, in hawaii's time. 3:07am is like 15 min away in their time.

[Ellyidol]

Dang! I don't know of any active forum members located in Hawaii. I hope for the best! =/

[icantgetkills]

32 casualties

[Kattatonic]

Omg. Thx for this. I had no idea. My dad is in Hawaii right off the beach. I can't get a hold of him through anything. He is military so I'm assuming that they had prior warning? Idk.

They should. They've been evacuated I'm sure.

32 is sad, but it isn't that bad in relation to how huge the calamity was no?

[Junside]

Anyone living on the west coast is also vulnerable to some danger. Be warned.

[Kattatonic]

That means noooo surfing parth!!!!

[KaotiicxDream]

Is anyone dead? This is really horrible!

[IamBored]

Hope everybody is ok. Wish best of luck to all.

[Zeus]

Already got a 45 minute evacuation warning. Parents freaking out and heading to Las Vegas. LOL. Pretty sure you don't need to go THAT FAR inland.

[Junside]

Glad to hear you're okay, Parth. :)

[Zeus]

Glad to hear you're okay, Parth. :)

Yea, but there goes my big day planned for today I was telling you about :(.

[Junside]

OMG I forgot! That is so lame... make sure you call at least :D

[superss]

hope everyone is ok :(

[Wrap]

Anyone in Hawaii? Wanted to hear how big of a wave hit there.

I'm on the California coast, waves suppose to hit us at 8:16am..about 50 min from now. Don't think it'll be anything big though.

[Tengotengo]

I've got a couple friends in Japan who told me they're okay already. I need to check again on FB.

[Tengotengo]

it was apparently a 3-footer in Hawaii.

[IamBored]

They are making excuse for a vacation, I bet.

[Zeus]

They are making excuse for a vacation, I bet.

Probably. Only reason I'm complaining is I missed a date :(. Hopefully Vegas will be worth it. Might Remake my Video there.

Still waiting to hear from my dad, skype and cell phone no luck. Just not sure if he was in Hawaii or American Samoa at the time. Either way, I'm sure he is fine. Just want to hear from him.

[Arterra]

Looks like that whole area of the pacific can count itself in that warning... Play nice, earthy...

[adwin]

Casualties are bound to occur, but let's hope it stays at a minimum.

[icantgetkills]

i hope australia doesnt get hit O.O but hawaiii is small so some damage could occur and this is right after the earthquake in NZ O.O

[icantgetkills]

P.s shes hot LOL

[Rebel]

Casualties have already hit 1000+. Whole passenger trains and buses have gone missing, so unfortunately, there are bound to be more deaths. This is a serious catastrophe. Hawaii was hit pretty hard, and a few west coast US harbors were destroyed. I don't believe there were any casualties in the US though, thank goodness. Also, there's a state wide warning in Japan due to the nuclear power plants having some technical issues. I don't think that it's too serious though. A couple friends say they are all right and that it was mainly the tsunami that did the most damage, although the earthquake was still very harsh.

[Frenzyn]

also to be honest in my opinion that 1000+ thing is complete bs, considering they cant see if anyone is even dead yet, sadly because its all flooded and they don't know who is and isn't. D: it probably is atleast 15,000 to be honest...

I reported the casualties that they have already been reported. And like I said, there are bound to be many more. I'm hoping there aren't near that many deaths.

Also, sadly a death was reported in California as the tsunami dragged a man to sea, killing him.

[noobmigo]

This is horrible. I'm calling my grammy RIGHT NOW
If she don't answer, It's panic modde.

Where is she located?

[noobmigo]

Where is she located?

Some city in Japan.

EDIT: Thank GODDD She's OK. Hope the same for everyone elses grammy

[Kirei]

For people saying it's not that bad, the casualties are pretty awful, there reporting them by prefecture, so it seems like a fairly low number but when you think about it when they report 30 dead and 100 missing in some prefecture, that's just one prefecture... Out of about 50. The area I'm in is safe (for all those who know me) but alot of people aren't as lucky.

[Rikilamaru]

I hope everyone ok and I hope those reactor don't go critical. I have very deep feeling that California is next for a very big quake. Well time to prepare emergency kit.

[Keohike]

I think the reactors will be find hopefully. Because Japan has extensive rules and guidelines in case of situations such like this, since Japan is prone to a lot of earth quakes.
