ANOTHER? damn, Japan

Another earthquake, 7.1 this time hit Japan. Aftershock has been happening but this one was for real. They had a tsunami and earthquake warning all today until it happened at around 10:32am ET. Supposedly cut some more power off and at the nuclear plants.

Poor Japan =[

Poseidon is displeased with the island dwellers

I just wonder if Skyline parts will go up or down in price. Its that wrong of me?

Seriously, when is Godzilla coming? We played that song every time (ok, not EVERY time) my kids would do into "destroy everything" mode.

Depends. Do you want the wet ones of the dry ones?

When I was in the Navy, we deployed to 3 different parts of Japan over 5 years, the second time was north of the area worst hit by the "original" 'quake. While there, we experienced 2 or 3 'quakes in a space of 5 months, there may have been more, just didn't feel them. Californians have long ago gotten used to 'quakes, so the Japanese are way ahead of them. It sucks, but thems the breaks.

The problem is there are too many of them for the island. All the weight of the humanity, the buildings and the cars is pushing the island down and quakes result. It's kinda like stuff sitting on a keyboard type of button.

I'm thinking that if they'd ship all that good JDM stuff over here quickly for free (you don't want the extra weight of all that money do you?) it would let the button pop back up.

Problem solved for everybody.

Maybe if they stopped killing whales........

Looks like he went after the Messicans too... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/07/mexico-earthquake-map-intensity_n_846378.html

its just the beginning of the end...2012

I'm trying to find out who the Japanese pissed off and try not to do the same.

well.. if the enthusiasts can survive 2012.. think of all the neat cars the non-survivors will be leaving behind

A 3.6? that is not a quake, that is just a semi crossing an overpass, Common Arkansas.

In other news, holy berkeley the world is trying to shake itself apart.

Seriously, this situation will affect a lot of us in unexpected ways. Japan produces a LOT of stuff that is then built in China. With CCTV cameras, most of the good ones use Sony CCD chips. That factory is flattened. So, cameras will be in short supply and be more expensive. I'm sure we will see more of this in other areas.

They must have pissed mother nature off in some way!

I'm down for the shipment of JDM over to here, it would certainly lighten the load wouldn't it. and yeah like said above, also PS3 stuff lol

maybe Earth had a bad Migraine over the last month

Or some Type R parts?

Bad things happen when you try to drift in a FWD car.

Have you been listening to this guy?

Congressman not clear on how islands work

Japan is used to this kind of thing. they are an island nation in one of the most geologically active regions on earth- and they've been there for thousands of years.

Disregard that. I hear their floating across the ocean. They will get to California in two years. And that friends, its what CNN calls news.

Oh one more thing. DIBS!

Will---oh my lord lol

I wouldn't mind that, go to the beach, and get a Bride seat, just take it back to the hotel, vaccuum the water out and sit in the sun

Yeah, they know how to build buildings that withstand this kind of thing and all of that it's just that, these 2 earthquakes are a big blow to Japan!
