8.9 magnitude earthquake hits the coast of Japan, causing 10-meter tsunami waves
nobo:
I'm fairly certain that the building codes in California are reasonably strict with regards to seismic activity.
Barmymoo:
It took me several seconds to realise you didn't mean door codes there.
The idea of earthquakes seems completely and utterly alien to me. And it isn't just earthquakes but tsunamis, tornados, all the extreme natural disasters that you guys get and Western Europe has managed to avoid through lucky placement. I am very grateful that this is the case, but also I wish they had been shared out a little more evenly so we could all cope with a few strong winds and a bit of roof-shaking instead of these blitzes of destruction. I feel a little bit useless at not being able to do anything to help.
ackblom12:
Yeah, in all honesty California is pretty well built to handle earthquakes for the most part. The clean up, search and rescue and such I'm not so sure about, especially with their budget being the way it is. FEMA would depend entirely on if they got another dumb fuck in charge.
Natural disasters are kinda terrifying in general and I'm still amazed at how well Japan is handling this. This is right up there with how incredibly efficient China was in dealing with the earthquake they had.
