so an old wooden fence got destroyed ?
JMA shindo 7 shaking, only the 4th quake with this strength to hit Japan. 19 plus homes down, 12 injured, 2 unconscious
>>70932373
That'd be the best building in Slovakia, wouldn't it?
Japan is shaking again.

Kumamoto Castle damaged - extent unknown.
1 death, 89 injuries confirmed.
one nuclear plant affected?
My Japanese geography knowledge is punctuated by disasters. Hope there are no deaths and a speedy recovery. Peace Japan
>>70933392
The one plant operational in Kyushu didn't even stop operations.
>>70933400
One so far. Thanks for the kind thoughts.
Read on a livestream that at least 3 people were confirmed dead, that true?
US navy ship reported missing. Rescue operations underway.
>>70934363
Seeing that now too, NHK confirming too.
>>70934558
Damn, hang in there bros. At least the 3 - 4 mag quakes seem to have stopped.
>>70934845
Afraid not, they've been non-stop. TV announcers stop reporting one just to say about another.
>>70934845
Pic related.
>>70935023
Huh, they're not showing up on the livestream anymore then.

Geez, 4 quakes while I was eating. That's crazy.
hang in there japans i need your anime in my life
i even import stuff from mandarake pls dont die
You deserve it
>>70935213
IME, live streams get overwhelmed fats.
>>70935306
3/11 was worse. Japan knows how to stay alive.
>>70935393
You deserve President Clinton 2.0, but I'm polite about it.
>>70935131
What site is that bud?
I'm in Osaka, been watching news since it started. Good luck tonight kumamoto
Any dead anime?
>>70935567
Just on my Twitter feed, there are good Android apps too.
SHOOK
>>70935743
DID THEY DIED?
>>70935854
Indeed.
>>70935968
3 so far, so 1/10 of the death caused your home-grown terrorists.
>>70932169
>be Japanese
>get shook
im in Hiroshima-ken, fel that shit right after playing in my virtual reality headset shit was trippy hope that's the last of it

japan stop bullying us

Japan's illustrated manuals for things are always so goddamned adorable. Got more?
>>70936856
Why u so mean ;-;

Felt it over here in Yokohama. Stay safe Kyushu bros.
All these small quakes are gradually releasing the energy that could've been a serious happening.
>>70932169
I'm okay with this as long as we keep getting anime.
hibiki chan looking out for our safety
Man, just when they were starting to chill on the stream a 4.8 happens.
Anime did this.
L.A here, I experienced a good jolt last week.
There was a split second of "LET IT BE THE BIG ONE!!" Then nothing...
That Northridge quake was fucking awesome when I was young.
I envy you senpai.
>No tsunami
Shit earthquake if no tsunami. I hope the Japanese qts are ok though.
>>70932477
>12 injured
It's literally nothing
>>70935131
Reminds me of our little earthquake back in 2010, stay safe amigo
I love this guys alarms, it's like you win a prize whenever there is an earthquake.
How strong was it in Richter?
>>70932169
I fell into a burning ring of fire,
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.

japan don't take no shit. Waifus are dying IRL, this is no time for jokes.
>>70932169
I hope jav actresses and manga artists are aight. You take too OP
>>70939562
I was just thinking that!
When that larger quake hit I thought he won a grand prize.
Also 10/10 comfy music.
>>70932169
If it's below 8.5 nobody cares. We have earthquakes all the time.
I hope that creepy shithole full of crossdressing faggots sinks into the ocean. Nothing of value lost.
>>70935131
Are you crying of a fucking 6.4? what a bunch of faggots. I never felt nothing below 7.

US missile destroyer confirmed sunk by tsunami. Survivors reported in lifeboats.
>>70932169
congrats to you for all your disaster preparedness in your education, culture & communities Japan, minimal damage to homes since they're built to expect quakes and minimal loss of life thanks to awareness.
As an outsider, I look at a quake like this and compare it to the embarassment of the 2010 Haiti earthquake (7.0) and how they had 160,000 dead and 1.5 mill homeless; Glorious Nippon will last another thousand years for sure!

Other geology and geography are important, too. 14 miles is moderately shallow and projects quite a bit of energy. Haven't seen the type of fault and how it broke yet, either.
Mashiki was pretty much directly over top of the epicenter, so they got the full effect of being on top of a 6.4 quake. Even 5 miles away can vastly reduce the surface energy & damage.
All sorts of other weird geology comes into play, such as how rigid the rock layers are, are there soft layers between hard layers, are the hard layers already fractured from centuries of previous quakes. It will be difficult to predict just how bad the local effects are without having greater knowledge of these factors.
One reason why Chile and California are scoffing at the 6.4 is that most locations in those places are surrounded by geology that doesn't transmit the energy of the quakes very efficiently ... it's already pretty broken up and the fractures absorb a lot of the energy. Additionally, all the major quakes in those places in the past 100 years have had their epicenters anywhere from 5 to 20 miles away from the affected cities.
> gologyfag here, I know some shit about rocks and things
I'm not an earthquake expert, but I certainly know the basics pretty solid. A 6.4 is a fuckload of energy release. Mashiki looks like it's cradled between two minor mountain ranges, so in addition to being on top of it, and it being fairly shallow as far as quakes go, the geometry of being between two mountains may also have focused a bit of extra energy into a small area. That was not a very fun place to be this morning. There's a fair number of small-ish villages around that area that are vulnerable to landslides, so there may be some really bad news yet by end of day.
Here's hoping not. Good luck, Nippon-chan! Be strong, have health.
>>70941653
Yeah they take prep serious here. And good thing as it was registered as shindo 7
Anyway it's been 20+ mins since last after shock.
