Can we have an update on the situation.

[breau]

This reactor was built like in the 1960s or 1970s, so in that context that really wasn't that long ago (Even if it was built today woudn't be that long ago be honest). So you can be sarcastic all you want - but the threat of a serious earthquake in that region was very real and predictable. Japan is a volcanic island afterall, and earthquakes and tsunamis are not uncommon. IF you are going to build a nuclear plant in a place called the "Ring of Fire' the very least you can do is make sure everything is up to current safety levels, or just not build them there at all.

We need to have an all or nothing approach to nuclear power saftey, especially in volatile regions. You make them safe as possible or we shut them down.

yes that was what i´m trying to say, it wasn´t that long ago and they been prepared for 8.0, not for more, what is rare even there, as i understand it. and i never mean to be mean , thats not my want, and if i seem to be, sorry my first language is german, and i may understand some of you wrong, or take wrong terms while talking, if, i apologize.
what i mean is, they not thaught a 9 would happen again that soon, so they didn´t prepare for it. and if they prepared for it, what happens if a 12 occurs? smile, i not know even if there is a 12 on the scale, anyway you never can prepare for evrything^^

Day after tomorrow deary ^_^.

It's actually tomorrow for the majority of people living in North America.
Say they release the information at midnight March 22nd, in Japan, that is 12PM noon March 21st for me, so I expect to hear something tomorrow between 12PM noon and 8PM.

They won't put them back up on the 22nd, if you believe that you are just setting yourself up for dissapointment. Nothing has changed to such a degree to warrant it.

Something sad is that there is a topic like this on the FFXIV forum and there is no high horse moral spamming like on the XI forum, it's actually full of pretty decent posts from almost every single contribution. Was really refreshing to read it.

Just FYI, scale goes to 10, a 1 point difference is a 10x difference in strength. So, an 8.0 earthquake is 10x weaker than a 9.0.

10 being the theoretical cap. By the scale, a 10.0 is the world shaking itself appart.
