A 30-foot tsunami caused by an 8.9 magnitude earthquake that struck Japan Friday currently has Hawaii under tsunami advisory. Reports say the quake is the strongest to hit the country in at least 300 years and authorities have already found upwards of 300 bodies in the city of Sendai—a Japanese city at the quake’s epicenter. The damage has set off related warnings in surrounding areas including more distant areas, such as parts of California and Hawaii.
Rapper/producer DJ Quik was in Hawaii when the Tsunami struck. He offered firsthand accounts from his Twitter account of Tsunami alarms and police evacuating citizens from local beaches. Quik urged his followers to “Please pray for the people in Japan who’s [sic] lives are slipping away as we speak. This is a real emergency. The Hawaiian Islands are guaranteed to be inundated by rouge waves in less than 3 hours…”
During Quik’s last update, he said that other than some rain his area was all clear. ABC reports that earlier Friday afternoon officials downgraded the area from tsunami warning to a less dangerous tsunami advisory. This is the second time in roughly a year that Hawaii and the U.S. West coast faced a massive tsunami threat. A magnitude-8.8 earthquake in Chile spawned warnings on Feb. 27, 2010, but smaller waves were much did little damage to most areas.
I saw choppers flying beneath me. Servicemen and Women out here are on point. The boats & yachts offcoast ar… (cont) http://deck.ly/~8EBtg
always loved dj quik, absolute legend.
best beat he ever did in my opinion is “heartz of men” by 2pac.
his own song “born and raised in compton” is tight too
this dude is real
I agree with you on heartz of men, but I think Dj Quik’s BEST solo song would have to be “Pitch in on a Party”
be safe Quick so u can get in the lab and make me summore Cali hitz!
is that all you care about…honestly?
Stay safe Quik. I’ve been watching this Japan quake coverage almost non-stop. Scary as fuck…
Yeah man, for those of you who have never experienced a earthquake…8.9 is a fuckin MONSTER! Im in Los Angeles, So anyway i was out last night and saw all kinds of post on FB about Japan having an 8.9 earthquake & tsunami. I was like WTF is going on here!?!?!I thouht the world was going to end man. The strongest quake i’ve felt has been a 7.3 or some shit like that. I can only imagine what a 8.9 quake must have felt like. FUCK! i would have pissed my pants…..and that shit was 2 minutes long!!! You know people always fucking WAR over stupid shit, but when things like this happen, the world becomes ONE. (Well except for those radical muslim fuckers!!!) why cant it always be this way?
like your point besides a lil lol
i support Quik, but this is stupid.
promote your new album man.
rather see the god reportin on life than chuckin an lp…..plenty time for that as you LIVE !……….
i agree with certain parts of that, but it was a pretty unecessary report being that quik aint a credible reporter and that hawaii didnt really get hit AND that he NEEDS TO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND RELEASE HIS ALBUM- JOKING
when I grow up I wanna be DJ Quik…
what an example he’s setting by doing this…
