"content": "\u003cp>The death toll from Friday's earthquake and tsunami are now expected to top 10,000. Having seen a relative handful of the flood of images that captured the disaster, that number is not surprising; it might even seem to be an underestimate, given the fact that Sendai, a city of 1 million, was 80 miles from the epicenter and was hit by a 30-foot wave just minutes later (downtown San Francisco is 60 miles in a straight line from the epicenter of 1989's Loma Prieta earthquake; if a 9.0 quake had hit—not in the cards, seismologists say—we wonder whether we'd be talking about San Francisco and San Jose in the past tense). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best treatment we've seen of the extent of the area shaken, and the severity of the damage therein, comes from \u003cstrong>The New York Times\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/packages/flash/newsgraphics/2011/0311-japan-earthquake-map/index.html?ref=asia\" target=\"_blank\">Map of the Damage from the Japanese Earthquake\u003c/a>. The straight-line distance from the northernmost point on the map where severe damage was recorded, \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachinohe,_Aomori\" target=\"_blank\">Hachinohe\u003c/a> in Aomori Prefecture (population 235,000), is a good 360 miles from Tokyo. Much of the coast between those points was devastated and the interior areas were severely shaken. If you're thinking in California terms, that's the as-the-crow-flies distance from San Francisco to downtown Los Angeles—a long, long swath of destruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> The \u003cstrong>Los Angeles Times\u003c/strong> has produced a timeline map of the shocks that preceded and followed the quake: \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-japan-earthquake-timeline,0,729519.htmlstory\" target=\"_blank\">Shaking before and after Japan's great quake\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Washington Post\u003c/strong> has posted a useful overview map of the affected areas: \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/world/japan-earthquake.html?hpid=z2\" target=\"_blank\">Earthquake in Japan: A wave of destruction\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The San Jose Mercury News\u003c/strong> has a good piece and graphic on what oceanographers do and do not know about the timing and behavior of tsunamis: \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/peninsula/ci_17595130?source=rss&nclick_check=1\" target=\"_blank\">Scientists accurately predict path of tsunamis, but still uncertain about impacts\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, we called out coverage of the quake from the Boston Globe's \u003ca href=\"http://boston.com/bigpicture/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Big Picture\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> photo blog. A commenter pointed us to another excellent photo resource, The Atlantic's \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2011/03/japans-earthquake---the-aftermath/100023/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>In Focus\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> picture page. Check that out, too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking of imagery, a Saturday offering from Google and satellite/aerial photo service GeoEye showcases the remarkable—no: really incredible—capacity current technology gives us to see the world from new physical and temporal perspectives. The company's got together to produce before and after views of coastal areas swept by Friday's killer waves. \u003cstrong>The New York Times\u003c/strong> has the best iteration of the show: \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/03/13/world/asia/satellite-photos-japan-before-and-after-tsunami.html\" target=\"_blank\">Satellite Photos—Japan Before and After Tsunami.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And finally, here's \u003ca href=\"http://bit.ly/fXTxcd\" target=\"_blank\">a video\u003c/a> we can't embed (it's a Quicktime movie) that conveys a very immediate idea of how quickly the water arrived in coastal towns and how quickly it erased communities from the landscape. The location is the town of Kesennuma, in Miyagi Prefecture, a town of 75,000.

Mr. Brocher said a lot of interesting things, including the following: \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The type of giant quake that hit Japan yesterday is not expected to menace the Bay Area, where the 7.9 quake of 1906 is thought to be at the upper limit of quakes in the area. The quake yesterday was 30 times larger than the 1906 quake, and 900 times the size of Loma Prieta in 1989. \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>North of California, however is another story. A magnitude 9.0 or above quake in the Pacific Northwest is expected. Those quakes, which are the product of vast and deep faults, are characterized by their severity and the length of shaking when they strike. Brocher said strong shaking lasted for 3-5 minutes during yesterday’s tembler.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A quake in the 9.0 range occurs in the Pacific Northwest region every 300 – 500 years.

Mr. Brocher said a lot of interesting things, including the following: \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The type of giant quake that hit Japan yesterday is not expected to menace the Bay Area, where the 7.9 quake of 1906 is thought to be at the upper limit of quakes in the area. The quake yesterday was 30 times larger than the 1906 quake, and 900 times the size of Loma Prieta in 1989. \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>North of California, however is another story. A magnitude 9.0 or above quake in the Pacific Northwest is expected. Those quakes, which are the product of vast and deep faults, are characterized by their severity and the length of shaking when they strike. Brocher said strong shaking lasted for 3-5 minutes during yesterday’s tembler.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A quake in the 9.0 range occurs in the Pacific Northwest region every 300 – 500 years. The last one was in \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1700_Cascadia_earthquake\">1700\u003c/a>, which scientists know because of a tsunami that was recorded in Japan at the time.\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/03/TsunamiQuake.mp3\">Listen to Tom Brocher of the USGS discusse yesterday’s giant earthquake\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Those feeling the earth shake, seeing unusual wave action, or the water level rising or receding may have only a few minutes before the tsunami arrival and should move immediately. Homes and small buildings are not designed to withstand tsunami impacts. Do not stay in these structures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All residents within the warned area should be alert for instructions broadcast from their local civil authorities. A tsunami has been recorded.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And here’s another detail to take note of: the tsunami danger will remain after the first impulse arrives:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>TSUNAMI AMPLITUDES ARE EXPECTED TO PEAK TWO TO THREE HOURS AFTER INITIAL ARRIVAL ALONG THE NORTH AMERICAN COAST.\u003cbr>\nTsunamis can be dangerous waves that are not survivable. Wave heights are amplified by irregular shoreline and are difficult to forecast. Tsunamis often appear as a strong surge and may be preceded by a receding water level. Mariners in water deeper than 600 feet should not be affected by a tsunami. Wave heights will increase rapidly as water shallows. Tsunamis are a series of ocean waves which can be dangerous for several hours after the initial wave arrival. DO NOT return to evacuated areas until an all clear is given by local civil authorities.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Other tsunami resources:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://72hours.org/tsunami.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">City of San Francisco tsunami preparedness site\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.conservation.ca.gov/cgs/geologic_hazards/Tsunami/Inundation_Maps/Pages/Statewide_Maps.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tsunami Inundation Maps\u003c/a> from the California Department of Conservation.

Those feeling the earth shake, seeing unusual wave action, or the water level rising or receding may have only a few minutes before the tsunami arrival and should move immediately.

Wave heights are amplified by irregular shoreline and are difficult to forecast. Tsunamis often appear as a strong surge and may be preceded by a receding water level. Mariners in water deeper than 600 feet should not be affected by a tsunami. Wave heights will increase rapidly as water shallows. Tsunamis are a series of ocean waves which can be dangerous for several hours after the initial wave arrival.
