7.3 Magnitude Earthquake hits Japanese coast
 

Can't find any articles yet, but I'll post one as soon as I get a link.

It's a bad year for planet earth....

I think it was a smart choice to base our entire world's infrastructure and way of life on a completely unsustainable natural resource.

How bad is 7.3?

Re: 7.3 Magnitude Earthquake hits Japanese coast
 

just about as bad as they get

Not really- 7.3 is reasonably large, but no where near the size of the earthquake that caused the tsunami last year (9.1).

Re: 7.3 Magnitude Earthquake hits Japanese coast
 

How big was the one that caused the Indian Ocean tsunami? 8.0?

NM I see it got posted while I was typing. The scale is logarithmic correct? 8.0 = 10x7.0?

trees are considerably more sustainable than fossil fuels

7.3 is a monster man.

The San Fransisco 89 quake was I believe 6.9. And the increase in numerical value is an exponential increase. 7.3 is bad.

Plus it's not the number, but the proximity to the epicenter that is the huge determinant.

I'd rather be 1 mile from 9.1 than right by a 7.3.

That movie was a bigger disaster than anything we have seen in history. Ye gods it was bad.

Bold mine. This is what I was referring to when I said it was reasonably large, but no where near as large as the 9.1 (!!) from last year. It is a major quake, but not a monster one (or 'Great', as the scale goes).

One story so far, from the company that sent me the flash (*they finally got the story up).

It was 300 Miles off the coast of Honshu. There's notices of tsunamis and stuff already out in Japan all up and down that coast

It occurred at 1:38 Pacific

I don't care what you say, any quake near/over 7 is quite large. Sure there are more powerful ones, but they are not very frequent.

Re: 7.3 Magnitude Earthquake hits Japanese coast
 

7.3 is a bad quake, but no where near as bad as the one in Indonesia last year. Also, Japan has building codes mandating quake-resistant construction. A 7.3 will do some significant damage for sure, but probably nothing like the wholesale collapses you get when a quake of similar magnitude hits a third-world country with lots of cheap, crappy concrete buildings, or old masonry buildings.

Bad enough FoxNews decided to interview the director for 40 minutes during their 60 minute special on global warming.

Re: 7.3 Magnitude Earthquake hits Japanese coast
 

Yeah but 9.1 is incredibly large. You almost never hear of quakes that size. It's really rare.

7.3 is still pretty darn big.

Do they go up to 11?
