1. That is huge..................

5. It's effin scary

I experienced a few strong aftershocks in the aftermath on the 2011 Japan megaquake, and I was pretty rattled. This western Pacific Rim has seen a lot of major seismic activity recently

2. Wow. I was 20 miles from the epicenter of the Loma Prieta quake and it was 7+.

That was bad enough.

[Retrograde]

7. 8.2 is roughly the magnitude of the 1906

San Francisco earthquake, which leveled a large part of that city. I hope that the local building codes are adequate, and observed. Will the US provide any assistance?

(I was here for Loma Prieta, the "Big Enough One&quot .

23. Fire leveled most of San Francisco in 1906

Although there was significant damage from the quake.

3. Holy shit

That is serious

4. It was 22 miles deep. They are now calling it 7.8 which is still a biggy

The depth may keep the tsunamis from becoming a big problem plus the energy waves may not be focused enough in one direction.

ABC: The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said tsunami waves up to 3 meters (10 feet) were possible on some coasts of the Philippines. Waves up to 1 meter (3 feet) were possible on some coasts of Indonesia and Malaysia.

Smaller tsunami waves were possible in Taiwan, Japan, Guam, Papua New Guinea and several island nations and territories in the western Pacific.

17. Wow. I rode out the 1994 Northridge quake. 6.7

Living in Hollywood area. It hit at like 5am. I woke up to find a safe place and was thrown directly back in bed. Huge aftershocks all day and night.

I can’t imagine a 7.8!

[Sympthsical]

19. Was the first day of school there as well

Cousin-in-law is a teacher, and he said they were fortunately all outside at the time for a flag ceremony, so all the kids were safe.

Hope he and his family are ok.
