If there is a second tsunami, they'll still be done rebuilding before Haiti. |

Article says they're expecting a .5 meter "tsunami" surge.

I remember from the first on that they said to expect large after shocks for months.

IIRC, Japan has a half dozen or more of those a year. And they are built to survive those without any issues.
The two current problems are there are lots of things still a little unstable that were damaged in the9.0 (Like Fukushima Diaachi) that are susespable to more damage now. Every chance this could even be an aftershock from March |

Please, do me a favor and keep a good thought for my older brother, who is a USAF M/Sgt, currently stationed at Misawa AB, Japan. He was less than 100 miles from the epicenter of the big earthquake this past spring, and according to Fox, this one was off the coast of Honshu, the island on which Misawa AB is located.

I was stationed at Misawa '76-'79. Remember folks, Japan has earthquakes allll the time, every day, somewhere. I remember getting a warning on AFN for a 6 inch tsunami after a 6.8, of which we had at least two while I was there. Not every earthquake results in a tsunami, and the country is actually better prepared than you can imagine for a "normal" eathquake. The quake this spring was huge. Just looked at the earthquake map/locater thingy, and this quake was actually closer than the March quake, nearer to Hachinohe, 18 road miles from Misawa. 6.7 All will be well, though I do wish him well. In what branch is he serving? When I was there, all branches were represented, plus JASDF. |

From what he's told me, the base fared well during the big quake this spring, although his off-base apartment was without heat and electricity for quite some time. He seems to have a knack for finding himself in the middle of major natural disasters. He was stationed at Charleston AFB when Hurricane Hugo hit in 1989. I think he has 3-4 Humanitarian Service Medals by now (Hugo, East Timor, spring tsunami of '11, and maybe another). |

The snow was more of a problem for us than earthquakes. 11 feet our first winter. Kerosene heaters were a pain in the ass. Looking on teh intarwebs, much has changed since I was there. (JASDF was still flying the lovely F-86 whilst I was there.) |
