I don't want to imagine what this is like for the people experiencing this.

the good news about these recent more modern times, and we can learn from past tsunami's obviously

hopefully we won't get another Fukushima like incident which occured few years ago, also with a earthquake/tsunami

Okay the tsunami didn’t really happen, where’s the earthquake damage?? I wanna see it

Japan has been through this experience before with Touhoku so they went high up as soon as they heard about it... (it wasn't as close though)...

It shouldn't if they don't keep their only backup cooling solution stored in a basement where it could be wiped out by floods ... the Daiichi plants were much older GE designs. I think #1 was even one of the original designs...

Nuclear plants have more than evolved overtime. Some don't require a mains connection nearly immediately to keep stable and have other non-electric based alternative cooling... but that tsunami was so massive (30') that only an ancient sign on a mountain that said "Don't build lower than this" could predict it...

And it wasn't a few years ago, it was 2011....

Always better to take way too many measures than to not have any plans whatsoever

Yeah, but it is hard to find a map showing where because the ones I've seen show Russia zoomed way out, with a giant red vibrating dot over it like we're supposed to know the Russian coast by heart and where land begins/ends... and if you do find a picture through a search engine, for whatever reason news sites wants to hide basic information inside of a video...

I'm not an expert, but 8.8 is still large and very significant and it's not terribly far from the coast... Touhoku's was also off coast and was 9.0~9.1 (mag)... I guess depending on how deep it was in the ground, what type of earthquake it was and how it would effect the way water is displaced... maybe it didn't displace as much water or it may have sent the worst of it adjacent along the coast rather than directly towards anything close-by... that would've also spared places like Japan... though Japan was never going to be as effected, they still reacted and moved to higher ground because they learned not to underestimate the potential of tsunamis to do more damage than imagined...
