japan hit by 8.9 quake

The sun had a huge solar flare and then Japan has a huge Earthquake, is there a correlation between this solar activity and the seismic activity?

I have read a few articles, after I thought about this, and there is a theory, what do all you brainiacs think?

Thanks

Pure co-incidence.
It was once shown hat there was a direct correlation between the numbers of storks nesting in Denmark (I think) and the birth rate.
 
the death toll may reach 1000

most of the japanese in the area hit by a large tsunami knew enough to head for high ground, some did not make it in time :(

the building codes in japan are tough, without them a lot more would have died

the tsunami struck the coast of japan within minutes of the earthquake

What I found mind boggling was the realisation that every cubic metre of water weighs one tonne. Every cubic metre. A few buckets full of water hitting a building is tantamount to swinging a wreckers ball! Only a wreckers ball does not weigh as many tons as that little bit of water we saw at the airport!

What in the hell does a "hat" have to do with it?

It looked like it when the wall of water flowed in and took out buildings like they were tinker toys. It was mind boggling.

the sheer power of the tsunami is incredible...along with that of the earthquake

nature always wins in the end when mankind presumes
 
That's just plain stupid, the people on the north east coast of Japan had a few minutes notice as the coast is only 150 miles from the epicentre, California is 6000 miles away. It happened at 5:45 am GMT and didn't reach California till 15:30 GMT.

By a few minutes, you mean what..............??
 
If you don't have a time line, just say so and stop making yourself appear so whiney.

The tsunami warning issued by Japan was the most serious on its warning scale, implying that the wave was expected to be at least 10 m (33 ft) high.[45] The earthquake took place around 200 kilometers from the nearest point on Japan's coastline (to the west), and initial estimates indicate the tsunami would have taken from 10-15 minutes to 15-30 minutes to reach the areas first affected, and areas further north and south depending on the geography of the coastline.[46][47]

Tom seems to have permanently hung up his knickers for his wife’s crinoline and satin skirts.

He's back to trying to convince everyone he's an authority on literally every subject a person brings up here.

I wonder what he knows about...oh never mind. He isn't reading us anyways... :rofl:

NIce cut and past job; but still isn't a time line.
The effort is appreciated though.
