8.9 magnitude... watching that wall of water push on km after km is amazing.

This is going to be awful.

2nd and 3rd tsunamis on their way. I watched rows of cars not make it on the road, people getting wiped out as the chopper flies overhead. This is going to be horrific indeed.

It makes you wonder, with all these terrible natural disasters of late (quite severe ones too) is 2012 really the year?

I believe he may be making an oblique reference to Armageddon. Perhaps with Muscat as the Anti-Christ.

Don't worry Shin, it's called plate tectonics. The whole region has been pretty active earthquake/volcano-wise for the past few years.

Ken Ring will probably making a lot of the between this earthquake and the fact that the proximity of the Earth and Moon is in the news. Even though his "Watch out a week before and after the full and new moon!" earthquake 'prediction' techniques failed to warn of this one.

Slight understatement there. The past few million years is probably more accurate.

Yes.
I was wondering which "End Of Days" scenario Shin was referring to.

In true japanese style im willing to bet money on it you will not hear then complain or look for sympathy. The next time you check in with then they will have already replaced the buildings/farms/roads they have lost.

Incredible people the japanese
