Radioactive steam will still bubble up to the top of the water in the containment vessel, but will be harder to vent as the systems for doing so in an orderly manner are now underwater

A massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake shook Japan, unleashing a powerful tsunami that sent ships crashing into the shore and carried cars through the streets of coastal towns. A massive 8.9 magnitude quake hit northeast Japan on Friday, causing many injuries, fires and a ten-metre (33-ft) tsunami along parts of the country's coastline
The most abundant greenhouse gas (GHG), however because it spends just a short time in the atmosphere, and humans have a very impact on the amount of water in the atmosphere, it is not considered the most important GHG. Natural disasters accelerate the release of halocarbons and replacement of these gases could lead to the use of more halocarbons, according to the study
But looking at the Full Coverage page for the event on Google News just now, most sources other than Japanese are reporting 7.8, except for the Belfast Telegraph, which reports 8.5. Had this been close to the surface and right now we'd be watching the aftermath of tsunami as bad as before, and likely MUCH worse damage from the quake itself
19, 2015 Some of Japan's most prominent companies announce largest pay increases in years, including Toyota, Panasonic and Hitachi; announcements are most substantial results from efforts on part of Prime Min Shinzo Abe to pressure country's businesses to raise workers' pay, part of broader economic growth plans. 20, 2015 Japan's savings rate, long one of highest in world, is minus 1.3 percent, with its citizens spending more than they earn; by comparison, United States savings rate was 5.5 percent in January; Japan's economic recovery could be complicated as previous generations of savers retire and tap their nest eggs; about 40 percent of unmarried adults are zero savers, as are about 30 percent of families

Keep in mind that precise top speeds of flying debris cannot be determined with accuracy, but this story will at least be close to the numbers put out by the USGS.

ROGER BILHAM: The coastline goes down, so do all their power intakes, and if they have a gigantic wave coming at them, it's going to short out everything electrical. We were just looking at each other going, "Is this over yet? No, it's not; it's still going." TOM JORDAN (Southern California Earthquake Center): What is different about a big earthquake is that it begins but it doesn't stop
Magnitude 9.0 - NEAR THE EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN
Unlike the recent magnitude 9.0 earthquake, the 1933 earthquake did not occur as the result of thrust faulting on the subduction-zone plate interface, but rather within the Pacific plate just seaward of the Japan Trench. Modeling of the rupture of this earthquake indicate that the fault moved upwards of 30-40 m, and slipped over an area approximately 300 km long (along-strike) by 150 km wide (in the down-dip direction)
Since then, Kim and Ruth Bailey had watched horrifyingly graphic TV reports of death and devastation in the area where their son lives, all the while desperately praying that he was among the survivors. Desperate: A man looks at messages left by survivors at an evacuation centre in Ofunato While Simon was at a school several miles inland last Friday, his parents hadn't heard from him and were so worried that they sent his photo to newspapers with appeals for information

Japan quake: video reports Quake: Wave forecast map Thousands of people were ordered to evacuate coastal areas in the states of California, Oregon and Washington.The biggest waves of more than 6-7ft (about 2m) were recorded near California's Crescent City, said the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre.A tsunami warning extended across the Pacific to North and South America, where many other coastal regions were evacuated, but the alert was later lifted in most parts, including the Philippines, Australia and China.Strong waves hit Japan's Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures, damaging dozens of coastal communities
What were they thinking with the scope of the tragedy up front to detour their report to support a theory not only not proven but riddled with deception. Jeremy says: March 11, 2011 at 8:12 am The CNN footage I saw of the wave coming ashore showed moving vehicles on a road trying to turn onto a street to avoid the incoming water
Elsewhere, millions of people are without power and water, factories will remain closed for weeks and Tokyo has been warned there will probably have to be power cuts to conserve electricity.At rescue centres in Sendai, where people prepared for a third night sleeping on the floor, notice boards are cluttered with the names of the missing. There have already been explosions inside two over-heating reactors at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, and the fuel rods inside a third were partially exposed as engineers desperately fight to keep them cool after the tsunami knocked out systems

Strongest Ever Japan Earthquake and Tsunami
All the provisional living quarters were occupied in Miyako, Hirono and Tanohata in Iwate Prefecture as well as the Fukushima Prefecture town of Shinchi. Frustration has run high in Japan as the Fukushima nuclear crisis shows no sign of ending, and nearly 100,000 evacuees remain holed up in more than 2,400 crowded shelters, many of them jobless and worried about their future
Regarding the slow response of the Japanese government to international offers of help, he says that they needed to assess the situation and decide what was needed first.

Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami March 11, 2011
One year ago not business as usual: wound management, infection and psychoemotional control during ter- tiary medical care following the 2004 tsunami disaster in southeast Asia. Nuclear scare grows with an orange flash and a violent blast: health concerns as hydrogen explosion at Fukushima 1 nuclear power station injures 11 and destroys containment building
Radioactive water was recently discovered leaking from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, which suffered a level 7 nuclear meltdown after the tsunami. In some regions, such as Miyagi and Fukushima, only 58 percent of people headed for higher ground immediately after the earthquake, according to a Japanese government study published in August 2011
Some illustrate actions that reliably saved lives-heeding natural warnings, abandoning belongings, and going promptly to high ground and staying there until the tsunami is really over. As shown by wave heights observed in Japan, subduction-zone earthquakes in Chile and Cascadia have caused tsunamis that were large even after crossing the Pacific Ocean
It will be several hours after this initial time before tsunami watchers will be able to say the threat is over, Barberopoulou, who is monitoring tide gauge reports across California, said. The waves have also already arrived at Hawaii in the wee hours of the morning there, but did not seem to be as large as the original 6 feet predicted, according to the Associated Press
The thrusting moved Honshu about 2.4 meters eastward, and the seismic waves on the Pacific Ocean floor set off tsunami waves traveling at the speed of a jet plane (about 700 kilometers per hour). Although we may still have a lot of questions about how and when megaquakes occur, one thing is becoming clearer with each passing earthquake disaster: No single nation can be fully prepared against natural disasters, and international sharing of science and technology on geohazards is crucial for humanity
