Chloe Martin2026-07-28T08:20:35.000Z

here we go again, another earthquake, another tsunami warning. just another tuesday in japan i guess

Blake Turner2026-07-28T09:09:35.000Z

facts. we had a 7.8 in wellington a few years back and the panic was real. 1m wave still does damage if you're low lying

yo i'm literally studying abroad in kyushu rn and my host family is freaking out. we're heading to higher ground. this is scary af

Eva Anderson2026-07-28T08:41:35.000Z

seriously tho, the shaking was intense. my mate's apartment got cracks in the wall

Ben Sullivan2026-07-28T08:43:35.000Z

praying for everyone in japan. these natural disasters are getting more frequent

Cameron Diaz2026-07-28T08:52:35.000Z

bet the media is loving this. 'tsunami alert', 'catastrophe looms'. calm the hell down it's a 1m wave

Cameron Diaz2026-07-28T09:23:35.000Z

lol ok go off. i'm just saying the headlines are always dramatic

Luca Reid2026-07-28T09:07:35.000Z

hope everyone's okay. our neighbours in japan always handle this so well

Riley Scott2026-07-28T09:22:35.000Z

Riley Scott2026-07-28T09:48:35.000Z

for sure. nz and japan solidarity. keep the whānau safe

Zoe King2026-07-28T09:28:35.000Z

1m tsunami is not a big deal unless you're standing on the beach. but the earthquake itself is the real concern. buildings collapsing etc

Riley Scott2026-07-28T09:40:35.000Z

can't believe there are already people on twitter making jokes about this. show some respect

Chloe Martin2026-07-28T10:33:35.000Z

yeah nah i agree with you. the quake is the main worry, not the wave

Leo McKenzie2026-07-28T09:47:35.000Z

checking on my mates in fukuoka. bloody terrifying

Riley Scott2026-07-28T10:42:35.000Z

ffs, jokes are how some people cope. doesn't mean they don't care
