By JAYMES SONG, Associated Press Jaymes Song, Associated Press – 16 mins ago


HONOLULU – A tsunami warning has been expanded to include the entire western U.S. coast.

The Tsunami Warning Center says the warning is in effect for California, Oregon, Washington and southern Alaska.

Warnings were issued for Hawaii and other parts of the Pacific following a tsunami early Friday after a massive earthquake struck in Japan.

Tsunami warnings are issued due to the imminent threat of a tsunami.

Im impressed how Japan learned a lot from the incident. They deveoped a survival capsule called "Noah" in case a tsunami will happen again.

“Noah” spherical earthquake and tsunami shelter, I choose you! At least you will, when the tsunami alarm sounds and water quickly begins to rise - until then, let the kids use it as a playhouse. The 1.2 meter (4 feet) diameter tsunami survival capsules were designed by Japan's Cosmo Power as floating emergency shelters capable of holding up to four adults.

Cosmo Power co-president Shoji Tanaka (that's him in the image above) was inspired to create the Noah capsule by the carnage and chaos caused by the March 11th, 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent tsunami.

Napanood ko lang sa CTV news kagabi, and googled today. Reading thru the article, they compared it to Pokeball, but for me, parang yung sasakyan nila Goku, Vegeta and others sa Dragonball..

The article was last year, only 600 backlog. But last night, the report was more than 2000 backlog and the inventor and its company is asking more support from the govt to mass produce it.

Ang kagandahan, puwede laruan sa backyard (different paint schemes would do basta luminous lang dapat for rescue purposes at yung top eh orange dapat) habang walang emergency, sulit na sulit!

Iba talaga ang mga japanese.

Dito sa pinas I think it is the manila trench, pag gumalaw un expect a huge tsunami.

[ghosthunter]

I wonder how well the passenger inside survival capsules will stand up to the crashing and impacts the capsule will take during it's journey inside a tsunami? Also I assume the capsule will have it's own air supply but how long will it last, will the capsule float and is it better anchored in place or free to move with the tsunami?

But we don't have much records of massive tsunami happening in the Philippines, right?

Indeed sir GH. Ung mga tsunami natin mababa lang. Usually kasi ung epi center nandito sa land or sa ibang bansa kaya not enough power to trigger a huge tsunami. What i know is the manila trench in south china sea, pag gumalaw ito that is the time that we might be expecting a 'real' tsunami.

delikado if it is free to move. the possibility na matamaan yan ng concrete walls or steel is highly probable during a tsunami event.

PHILLIPINES - THE EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI OF AUGUST 16,1976 IN THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS - The Moro Gulf Tsunami - Dr. George Pararas-Carayannis

On August 16, 1976, a devastating earthquake on the Cotabato Trench caused destruction on the island of Mindanao - the southernmost and largest of the Phillipine Islands.

The destructive tsunami that was generated in the Gulf of Moro and in the Celebes Sea killed about 8,000 people in coastal communities in North and South Zamboanga, North and South Lanao, North Cotabato, Maguindanao and Sultan Kudarat (Mindanao), and in the neighboring Sulu Islands.

The earthquake occurred at 16:10 UTC of August 16, 1976 (local date August 17, 1976). The epicenter was in the Celebes Sea between the islands of Mindanao and Borneo. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center's preliminary magnitude was given as 8.0 on the Richter scale and as 7.9 by other sources. There were many aftershocks following the main earthquake. A major aftershock on August 17 (local date) had a magnitude of 6.8. It was proceeded by at least fifteen smaller aftershocks.

This was the worst earthquake and tsunami disaster in the history of the Phillilines. Also, the Indonesian Hydrographic Office reported that unusual wave activity affected the islands of Sulawesi (Celebes Island) and Borneo.

Its because the capsule will be hit hard objects regardless if it's anchored or free to move. If anchored, debris, house, boats, cars, etc in the tsunami will hit the capsule. If free to move, it will still hit large objects like buildings not moved by the tsunami. The difference would be if the capsule is anchored, once the tsunami recedes (hours later), you know you will still be in the same place (dry land). If it's free to move, you might be moved kilometers way or worst, swept into the sea.

How about other records? How often does it happen especially repeated tsunami events?
