| #18 A co-worker pointed out that the first one was the day after Christmas ... this one the day after Easter. So ... was this done *by* Christians? Or *against* Christians? Because, you know, it wasn't an oddly coincidental naturally occuring thing -- no matter what you think!! ;-) |

| #13 Does anyone notice that many of these quakes occur Full Moon +/- 2 days... The sun pulls one way, and the moon, the opposite... |

| #10 8.7 is one righteous release of energy! And this followed the 9.0 of 12/26/04. The '64 Alaska Good Friday earthquake was 9.2. |

| #9 USGS now says 8.7 |

| #8 IIUC, that particular section of fault had a lot of stress on it because of the 12/26 quake. This quake was predicted. We'll see if it was actually enough to relieve the pressure. |

| #7 If my HS Geometry is reasonable, this one looks to be about 170 miles SE of the 9.0 on Dec 26... |

| #6 N.B.: That warning is for the Pacific Ocean, not the Indian Ocean (just like last time) This earthquake struck at just after midnight...a scary dark time to get shaken out of bed, if you ask me. The moon is close to full though... |

| #3 OK, people, now when you see the tide running out and the fish flapping around, are you going to make all speed inland and/or to higher ground? |
