Scary Shit indeed!!

Awesome to see the usually contained raw power of
that mysterious substance 'water' --break out of it's
confines and demonstrate our relatively puny position.

Tsunami-hit towns forgot warnings from ancestors

MIYAKO, Japan (AP) — Modern sea walls failed to protect coastal towns from Japan's destructive tsunami last month. But in the hamlet of Aneyoshi, a single centuries-old tablet saved the day.

"High dwellings are the peace and harmony of our descendants," the stone slab reads. "Remember the calamity of the great tsunamis. Do not build any homes below this point."

It was advice the dozen or so households of Aneyoshi heeded, and their homes emerged unscathed from a disaster that flattened low-lying communities elsewhere and killed thousands along Japan's northeastern shore.

This videography of post-apocalyptic desolation speaks for itself.



From Wiki:

Single dose examples
Dental radiography: 0.005 mSv[3]
Average dose to people living within 16 km of Three Mile Island accident: 0.08 mSv during the accident[4]
Mammogram: 3 mSv[3]
Brain CT scan: 0.8–5 mSv[5]
Chest CT scan: 6–18 mSv[5]
Gastrointestinal series X-ray investigation: 14 mSv[6]
International Commission on Radiological Protection recommended limit for volunteers averting major nuclear escalation: 500 mSv[7]
International Commission on Radiological Protection recommended limit for volunteers rescuing lives or preventing serious injuries: 1000 mSv[7]
[edit]Hourly dose examples
Average individual background radiation dose: 0.23μSv/h (0.00023mSv/h); 0.17μSv/h for Australians, 0.34μSv/h for Americans[8][4][9]
Highest reported level during Fukushima accident: 1000 mSv/h reported as the level at a pool of water in the turbine room of reactor two.[10][11][12]
[edit]Yearly dose examples
Maximum acceptable dose for the public from any man made facility: 1 mSv/year[13]
Dose from living near a nuclear power station: 0.0001–0.01 mSv/year[6][8]
Dose from living near a coal-fired power station: 0.0003 mSv/year[8]
Dose from sleeping next to a human for 8 hours every night: 0.02 mSv/yr[8]
Dose from cosmic radiation (from sky) at sea level: 0.24 mSv/year[6]
Dose from terrestrial radiation (from ground): 0.28 mSv/year[6]
Dose from natural radiation in the human body: 0.40 mSv/year[6]
Dose from standing in front of the granite of the United States Capitol building: 0.85 mSv/year[14]
Average individual background radiation dose: 2 mSv/year; 1.5 mSv/year for Australians, 3.0 mSv/year for Americans[8][4][9]
Dose from atmospheric sources (mostly radon): 2 mSv/year[6][15]
Total average radiation dose for Americans: 6.2 mSv/year[16]
New York-Tokyo flights for airline crew: 9 mSv/year[9]
Dose from smoking 30 cigarettes a day: 13-60 mSv/year[14][15]
Current average dose limit for nuclear workers: 20 mSv/year[9]
Dose from background radiation in parts of Iran, India and Europe: 50 mSv/year[9]
Dose limit applied to workers during Fukushima emergency: 250 mSv/year[17]
[edit]Dose limit examples
Criterion for relocation after Chernobyl disaster: 350 mSv/lifetime[9]
In most countries the current maximum permissible dose to radiation workers is 20 mSv per year averaged over five years, with a maximum of 50 mSv in any one year. This is over and above background exposure, and excludes medical exposure. The value originates from the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), and is coupled with the requirement to keep exposure as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) – taking into account social and economic factors.[18]
Public dose limits for exposure from uranium mining or nuclear plants are usually set at 1 mSv/yr above background.[18]
[edit]Symptom benchmarks

Symptoms of acute radiation (dose received within one day):[19]

0 – 0.25 Sv (0 – 250 mSv): None
0.25 – 1 Sv (250 – 1000 mSv): Some people feel nausea and loss of appetite; bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen damaged.
1 – 3 Sv (1000 – 3000 mSv): Mild to severe nausea, loss of appetite, infection; more severe bone marrow, lymph node, spleen damage; recovery probable, not assured.
3 – 6 Sv (3000 – 6000 mSv): Severe nausea, loss of appetite; hemorrhaging, infection, diarrhea, peeling of skin, sterility; death if untreated.
6 – 10 Sv (6000 – 10000 mSv): Above symptoms plus central nervous system impairment; death expected.
Above 10 Sv (10000 mSv): Incapacitation and death.

Massive islands of floating debris from Japan’s tsunami heading across Pacific Ocean

The Daily Telegraph reports on the massive floating islands of garbage, some almost 70 miles in length, caused by last month’s tsunami in Japan, which are causing chaos in shipping lanes in the Pacific Ocean, as they slowly head for the west coast of the America.

This is worth a look:

http://www.jimstonefreelance.com/fukushima.html

*When I see video pulled from the net (for no obvious reason: the news room footage near the epicenter of the '6.0 dressed as a 9.0' quake has been scrubbed off youtube) over and over - I get suspicious. The Kobe earthquake in 1995 was a 6.8 on the Richter scale. View the Kobe damage here. These dudes are still broadcasting from the epicenter of a 9.0??? Ahh wha? Shocked


Similar op to the Banda Aceh Muslim slaughter??

http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/esp_ciencia_tsunami14b.htm



Background:
'Back in 1945 the OSS (forerunner of the present-day CIA) planned to bring the "unbridled brutality of Japanese troops" under control by use of artificially triggered earthquakes. "If we could could get (an atom) bomb within a mile of a point on a fault line (trench) destined to break within 90 years we might set it off ..."

Since this secret paper was written, the modern-day CIA has had sixty years to get its nuclear numbers right - just in time for the shattering war crime against South and South-East Asia which murdered more than 300,000 people on December 26, 2004.'

Future: If you live on the east coast of North America the Cumbre Vieja volcano, of Isla de La Palma in the Canary Islands, should be of great concern to you.

Vieja, La Palma, Canary Islands. (South is above, North below.)


If all the 'pieces' fall just right, we will be facing a mega-tsunami - with 8 hrs for escape. (It is modelled at over a 650 meters high, wavelength of 40 km long, traveling at 720 kmp and would sweep inland 100 kilometers). I believe it is not a matter of if, but when. If you ever hear of this volcano erupting, you may want to pack a bag or two.

Fukushima Radiation Gives Rise to Mutant Butterflies?
Azeen Ghorayshi | Wed Aug. 15, 2012 | Mother Jones


'Preliminary studies concluded that most of the 140,000 people in the surrounding areas of Fukushima had probably been exposed to relatively low doses of radiation that probably wouldn't lead to any adverse health effects. But a new study published last week in Nature has shown that the radiation is causing a particularly sensitive population—the pale grass blue butterfly—to develop a slew of uncommon and potentially lethal physical abnormalities.

Researchers collected butterflies immediately following the nuclear meltdown and six months later, both from the surrounding areas of Fukushima and from various other localities in Japan where the butterfly is common. As compared with the butterflies collected from elsewhere in the country, Fukushima butterflies showed some abnormally-developed legs, dented eyes, deformed wing shapes, and changes to the color and spot patterns of their wings, with an overall abnormality rate of around 12 percent.'
