there is no maximum just a record of 9.5 on earth (the amount of energy of the quake doubles for every 0.2 increase)

Casualties and death count will rise steadily. Relax, this sort of disaster is annual, we saw it with Chile and Haiti last year. Luckily this is Japan, where they have osme of the best facilities and defense against typhoons and floods. After all, they invented the word "tsunami". They'll deal with it fine. Let's hope it doesn't decimate the population in the hardest hit areas. My hopes and prayers for the Japs.

Before everybody starts to flame LaVolpe, I'd have to recognize he has a point even though this is still a tragic disaster

I'm very sorry for Japan
I hope the casualties will be kept to a minimum.

I thought the same until I knew it was 8.9 (8.8 in some news websites), guy, THAT is strong, we were hit last year by a similar magnitude earthquake and even with the antiseismic buildings and all it was a big shock.
I really hope our goverment (and our people) can do the best to aid you guys, because 1 year ago your goverment and people did the same for us. Be strong Japan!

In other news, Tsunami for almost all the pacific ocean. We're (Chile) supposed to get hit by it too, so if you live near the coast, stay tuned to what the authorities say.

This truly reminds me of an anime. http://www.animeseason.com/tokyo-magnitude-80/
Looks like they knew it was coming, but much earlier than expected.
May God save Japan.

This is really horrible, alot of places caught on fire including a nuclear power plantOil refinery. Alot of boats, including one with 100 people on board got swept away. 8.9 magnitude is really high, similar to the one in Chile (as krisom mentioned). Chile on the other hand only has about 16mil population, while Japan has about 128mil and they live really dense.

so far, 63 people have died

I feel really bad. >:
But I totally agree with LaVolpe. Even if that was too strong for Japan, they will get "better" soon. But really, it's still shocking too see so many deaths. :/

This earthquake + tsunami combination is something I've never seen before, I'm still astonished for what I saw on TV and what I'm seeing now on the computer.

I don't even know what to say... best of luck to Japan for recovering, but i really feel so powerless when i see what's happening there...

o_o I thought earthquakes often caused tsunamis.

Anyway, I feel sorry for everyone who died/is hurt or knows anyone who died/is hurt. I hope Japan can recover from this soon... :cry:

Most of the time those earthquake-based tsunamies don't hit ground as earthquakes at the same time.
I just heard there are a lot of people resting/sleeping in the underground stations for the night =/
I also hope Japanese people may manage to recover from this, and I send my most sincere condollence and "hopes" to everyone with dead/hurt/missing relatives/acquaintances.
Best of luck for the entire country, and for the other Pacific countries affected, as well.

PS: Those from countries that are about to be hit by the tsunami's "shock wave" (or expansion), please, take care.
