^ there was nothing at all here despite that menacing looking animation (I live with a view of the ocean).So worried about it in fact, I spent most of the day surfing.
Pokemon arent real but they should be.
I would like to thank the Japanese rescue team. It is bad enough that they didnt manage to find any survivors from the school http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFs8YZFaMBoApologies for the terrible Japanese. I dont speak it very often. I always found it funny that he was nick named "Super Maori" when he is, in fact, polynesian.
Pretty amazing huh.
The best thing about Finance Minister Bill English\'s latest Budget is that it does finally signal a much greater role for the private sector in the New Zealand economy. And another step along the way to extract this country from the political cul-de-sac in which Helen Clark\'s Labour Government parked us.
Well it's amazing that the wave height was higher here than in the South Pacific directly above us. Pretty much contradicts your earlier statement.
When he his pointing at the other buildings swaying, that is just...just so scary.edit2: Okay this is abit odd. Not only can I not find user ilovenishiazabu, I can also not break into their channel in the usual way i.e Google cache. AND they appear to have had their videos flagged for inappropriate material, which may explain why they pulled their account.I think I shall do some internets sleuthing.
What the fuck are you talking about?You telling me it gained more energy as it moved further away? Really? Have a look at the other image. Pedantic fool.
As a tsunami leaves the deep water of the open ocean and travels into the shallower water near the coast, it transforms. If you read the "How do tsunamis differ from other water waves?" section, you discovered that a tsunami travels at a speed that is related to the water depth - hence, as the water depth decreases, the tsunami slows. The tsunami's energy flux, which is dependent on both its wave speed and wave height, remains nearly constant. Consequently, as the tsunami's speed diminishes as it travels into shallower water, its height grows. Because of this shoaling effect, a tsunami, imperceptible at sea, may grow to be several meters or more in height near the coast. When it finally reaches the coast, a tsunami may appear as a rapidly rising or falling tide, a series of breaking waves, or even a bore.
i had kinda hope speakman had died, what a pity
Wave height is a function of depth as well I would say, also speed changes with depth. Hence all the darker red around the coasts.
Yeah dude, that's exactly right. The angle of depth ascent will also effect wave height. If the bottom gradually gets shallower the waves will be smaller........ The one thing that really took me by surprise was the focussed direction of the tsunami towards Hawaii...
Emrico was right about New Zealand, simply too far away for there to be a significant incident. The wave will increase when it hits shallower water but the force will dissipate as it travels over open ocean.
No he wasn't, and no it doesn't. New Zealand wasn't in the path of the tsunami, as simple as that. Or else, how do you account for the carnage in Santa Cruz?
That is rough watching that live footage of the tsunami hitting and moving inland. There are a lot of cars that did not get out of the way fast enough. Or people standing watching who didnt expect it to reach them. Really heart stopping to see
A friend has just confirmed who lives in Japan, that part of the Nuclear Power Plant has exploded.
farkanyone know which way the radiation will travel?
More from Walt Patterson of Chatham House. He says the presence of the radioactive caesium in the surrounding area does not pose a huge threat to public health in the immediate aftermath of the explosion. "What would be serious is if there was an explosion or fire that lifted this stuff high in the air, meaning it could get carried over a wide area."
BBC environment correspondent Roger Harrabin says local officials believe the release of radiation following the nuclear plant explosion is likely to be small. He adds that nuclear incidents aren't always as serious as they may sound or appear, and actually, in terms of loss of life and destruction, accidents at hydroelectric plants are far more dangerous.
