this is bad news.
damn, what is this world coming to? i say too much bad karma. I just hope the thing doesn't generate some mega tsunami.
^^^ quoted from the reuters web page. well they had better hope so, and so should we. well the geography seems pretty good, cause there's islands and stuff around it. unlike the last one which was in open sea.
dear lord, please have mercy on our souls

Even if we do see tsunami activity it won't be as widespread" as December's quake

Está servira para distraerle.
Nothing from here where it is now 07.30.
Stayed up last night untl after midnight our time. No reports so far. Last time it took out the main airport highway. Still not reconstructed.
Sea state looks a little rougher than usual and a slightly higher tide this morning.
Got away with this one then.
