Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 a precursor to something more scary Well, of course it is in geological time. Sooner or later (this afternoon or 1.9 million years from now) there's going to be a mega-quake along the nankai trough that'll make 3/1/2011 look like a baby's rattle. I really think the government needs to do something to prevent this. Yeah, like get Pies and his dome making skills brought to bear on the dai ichi plant before another hits and the green goo is giving us all a 3rd arm Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I'm getting the feeling Pies is just blowing a lot a hot air out his pie hole on getting the dome completed. At least some build shots would be nice. Link to post Share on other sites

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Minor detail, perhaps, but shouldn't the green goo be in the inside? Other than that, looks brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I think that's actually Pies schematic for Tokyo......the rest of country has been reduced to radioactive green goo but Tokyo has been saved Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Chuetsu Earthquake was 9 years ago today. Lots of memories, and lots on tv today about it. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 That's weird. I didn't know about it being the anniversary but was just thinking about that today. Obviously being so far away I wasn't affected by it at all. I remember being on a chair with wheels about 10 stories up and starting to roll across the floor when the building began to shake. Thoughts of course go out to those who were affected by it. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 How are those half-buried houses doing? For me the most recent earthquake anniversary was Loma Prieta, 17 Oct. 1989. Only 3.11 managed to top that one. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I think those houses are still there. Some people want them to stay and be some sort of memorial, others want them to go. They are certainly a sight to see. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I'd love to go there. The photos you took and others I have seen make it seems a really beautiful area. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 It is beautiful. I always enjoy visiting Yamakoshi. I would love to spend some real time there and get some photos early morning and evening through the seasons. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Keeping those houses as a memorial would seem worthwhile. Not that it's my place to say. Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderbird2 0 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Buried houses? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Some houses found themselves in the middle of a newly made river, brought on by the earthquake in the mountainous village. They are still there, half buried. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 All ok? .. An earthquake of magnitude 6.8 has struck off the coast of Japan prompting emergency services to issue a tsunami advisory for the Fukushima area. Japan's Meteorological Agency raised a 1-meter (3-foot) tsunami warning for a long stretch of Japan's northeastern coast, including Fukushima. The US Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not post warnings for the rest of the Pacific. There were no initial reports of damage on land, although the AFP agency cited reports saying that workers had been evacuated from the stricken nuclear power plant. The quake hit at 2:10 a.m. Saturday Tokyo time (1710 GMT) about 290 kilometers (170 miles) off Fukushima. Japanese broadcaster NHK reported that Tokyo Electric Power Co., the operator of the Fukushima plant, ordered workers near the coast to move to higher ground. The tremor was felt in Tokyo, some 300 miles (480 kilometers) away. Link to post Share on other sites

big-will 7 Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 They seemed to be saying on the news that this was a 'worrying' kind of quake. Didn't quite get why... Anyone? Link to post Share on other sites
