A computer extrapolation of todays Magnitude 7.4 earthquake in Japan, which generated a Tsunami, shows that Tsunami waves may be heading for Hawaii and the West Coast of North America according to the University of Japan at Tokyo.
The earthquake in Japan took place at 20:59 UTC. The computer model shows that Tsunami waves are presently traveling eastward in the Pacific Ocean from Japan, and are scheduled to begin striking the western coastlines of Hawaii at +7Hrs 33 Minutes.
That means Hawaii could begin seeing the effects of the Tsunami about ONE HOUR and 15 minutes from now (11:16 PM eastern US time or 6:16 PM local Hawaii Time)
According to the same computer model, Washington State and Oregon coastlines could start to be impacted at +9 Hrs 17 Min, with California beginning to get the waves at +9 Hrs 30 minutes.
Here is the computer model from the University of Japan showing the impact times. Folks in Hawaii would be well advised to get OUT of the ocean right now, and stay on higher ground for the next few HOURS. Folks on the West Coast would be well advised to get out of the water and move away from the coastline by 9:00 PM California Time tonight, for a few hours.
PACIFIC TSUNAMI WARNING CENTER
The US Government’s Pacific Tsunami Warning Center seems to believe the threat for Tsunami “has passed.” The University of Japan seems to disagree. In the interest of having the public FULLY INFORMED, we post the final message from the US Pacific Tsunami Warning Center below so you can decide for YOURSELF whether the folks in the Tsunami Warning Center or the University of Japan are correct!
SuperStation95 realizes this is directly conflicting information. We do not know which to believe. So we’re presenting both sources of information so the public can decide for themselves whether or not to seek higher ground.
