Mal Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 When I read the magnitude of the earthquake and what it done... I HAD to look for the depth of the focus. 8.9 km so... about 5.5 miles deep. Okay, I can give it that people can feel it then and that it can do some damage... considering where it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Seem like there were two 6.X aftershocks within the last 24 hours or so. One near Tokyo and the other earlier one near Fukushima. So yeah... Japan, you sure there isn't a dragon god under Japan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want to try to get your head around a 6.0+...it falls under the category of life experiences no one wants to have if they can avoid it... We're heading back to Japan at the end of this week, and I am a bit nervous about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Well I'm late to reply but Peter... it may sound odd and utterly stupid but I kind of seek earthquakes. You cannot understand something without experiencing it. I'm majoring in earth science with hopes to do something related to infustuctures. So yeah, there is my silly reason why I seek it... despite 6.0+ earthquake being able to cause much damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
