No ca-ca. I realize most of you won't see this until after the damage is over, but for those of you international types who might actually see this in time to make a difference (haul a**, call someone affected, or whatever)... this is a "no-s**t" alert I just got in from CNN.

December 26th's was 9.0; this one is 8.2; Japan measured it at 8.5.

Russ,
The BBC is also carrying the story:
Earthquake
Its seems the alert has got out this time but has caused wide spread panic as we sitting here can only imagine.

I haven't seen any actual reports of a tsunami yet and it it would appear that the original quake was a least a few hours ago...also although a 8.2 quake is very large/dangerous, I think its actually half the power of a 9...so lets pray that don't see a repeat of the original tsunami...

Regards,

Pete
