| ...at least on one coast of Japan in a certain large area. Bottom line here; California get ready! This sort of 'quake event so completely wipes out everything in such a huge area that even pre-placed food and water were wiped out. Local first responders and their equipment; wiped out. No power or clean water, no heat, no shelter in 37 degree weather...all infrastructure completely wiped, all that great Japanese high tech stuff is useless. All that nice farmland inundated with salt water... no fuel...no health or social services. The Japanese are a great self disciplined people, and not prone to looting, but even if they were, theres nothing much left to loot. Though I did see a few civilians moving around with bugout bags on their backs, but there is no weponry or tactical gear in the priority stream. The bad reactors are just icing on the cake, as the US has several reactors built right on top of fault lines. Got enough gas masks and potassium chloride pills? You can easily see the same thing happening in CA... |

CA only has what 4 nuclear power plants? They are right on the ocean, with a West to East wind. Very little of CA would get any contamination. It would quickly end up over the rest of the US though. CA is a tall skinny state.
I've been in a 6.8 earthquake before. It knocked down all the trashy old buildings in town. Everyone was without natural gas for about a month, we were one of the few that had hot water because we had a solar hot water heater on the roof. Zero deaths. |

Yeah, one of them, Diablo Canyon is not only right near the ocean, but right near a fault line, so it's guaranteed to get a good shaking. Aside from that, the winds are often not just straight west––>east winds. The prevailing direction is west to east, but there is often plenty of north/south direction in there. |
