And we have a lot steel that isn't screwed together good....at least we would have heard it....But nothing.

KimoMax Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Tusnami Alerts and Warnings are Not Called Off per the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. A Tsumani was detected to have been generated and Warnings or Alerts are Still in effect until 2 hours after the expected arrival times. That would be after 20:30pm in Phuket. Do not be fooled by Low Ocean Buoy readings. Tsunami's often multiply to huge heights when reaching shore. 000 WEIO21 PHEB 111014 TSUIOX TSUNAMI BULLETIN NUMBER 003 PACIFIC TSUNAMI WARNING CENTER/NOAA/NWS ISSUED AT 1014Z 11 APR 2012 THIS BULLETIN IS FOR ALL AREAS OF THE INDIAN OCEAN. ...

ONLY NATIONAL AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE DECISIONS REGARDING THE OFFICIAL STATE OF ALERT IN THEIR AREA AND ANY ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN RESPONSE.

IT IS ...NOT... CREST-TO-TROUGH WAVE HEIGHT. VALUES ARE GIVEN IN BOTH METERS(M) AND FEET(FT). PER - PERIOD OF TIME IN MINUTES(MIN) FROM ONE WAVE TO THE NEXT. NOTE - DART MEASUREMENTS ARE FROM THE DEEP OCEAN AND THEY ARE GENERALLY MUCH SMALLER THAN WOULD BE COASTAL MEASUREMENTS AT SIMILAR LOCATIONS. EVALUATION SEA LEVEL READINGS INDICATE A TSUNAMI WAS GENERATED. IT MAY ALREADY HAVE BEEN DESTRUCTIVE ALONG SOME COASTS. BASED ON THESE DATA THE THREAT CONTINUES FOR ALL COASTAL AREAS OF THE INDIAN OCEAN. FOR THOSE AREAS - WHEN NO MAJOR WAVES HAVE OCCURRED FOR AT LEAST TWO HOURS AFTER THE ESTIMATED ARRIVAL TIME OR DAMAGING WAVES HAVE NOT OCCURRED FOR AT LEAST TWO HOURS THEN LOCAL AUTHORITIES CAN ASSUME THE THREAT IS PASSED. DANGER TO BOATS AND COASTAL STRUCTURES CAN CONTINUE FOR SEVERAL HOURS DUE TO RAPID CURRENTS. AS LOCAL CONDITIONS CAN CAUSE A WIDE VARIATION IN TSUNAMI WAVE ACTION THE ALL CLEAR DETERMINATION MUST BE MADE BY LOCAL AUTHORITIES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulse Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 wow bangkok felt the quake? amazing mother earth. Here in Bangkok we didn't feel anything. And we have a lot steel that isn't screwed together good....at least we would have heard it....But nothing. Not universally true. Over 100 people evacuated the Exchange Tower after it swayed enough to alarm them. Strangely, no other nearby buildings seemed to have people out front. Perhaps the 42 story building experienced some kind of resonant frequency... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEL1 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) There is continuous updated coverage, for the next hours, minute by minute at : http://edition.cnn.c...-earthquake.cnn - at which you need to keep clicking the ASIA earthquake page after each update. It seems fair, accurate and not spectacular but direct reporting. They are collating expert advice, and the potential outcome initially appears much better than 2004, but please get away from forewarned areas as a precaution. -mel. Good luck everybody, and take caution before risk at any time.... !!

Does anyone know what is the definition of high ground (how high above sea level is minimum) and how far inland these things can go? This earthquake is about 50% of 2004 and of a different type.
