Wow.

The destruction from this quake, even at sea, has been horrific.

Imagine if had occured on land!

Not to mention destruction of infrastructure (power,communications, sewers and fresh water); that quake will be felt for years. Hope the relief money isn't channeled through the UN.

Mt St Helens, while not associated with these quakes, appears ready to go. Maybe all the gyrations caused by these quakes will set it off.

Everybody now has the death toll above 11,000. This is going to rise. There are places where they haven't got to the bodies yet.

Hi Prairie.. is there a place you are finding info on Tsunami causalities & the further earthquakes. Several of the other threads have been hijacked unfortunately by religious undertones.

"All the planet is vibrating" from the quake, said Enzo Boschi, the head of Italy's National Geophysics Institute. Speaking on SKY TG24 TV, Boschi said the quake even disturbed the Earth's rotation.

Wow.

Just.... wow.

In this region, the Burma plate is characterized by significant strain partitioning due to oblique convergence of the India and Australia plates to the west and the Sunda and Eurasian plates to the east.

If John Kerry had won, he'd have used his relationships in the international community to bring the India and Australian plates together without such violence and destruction.

They claim it did shake or displace the entire Earth.

Amazing damage far and wide.

Here are a couple of photos from Kollam in Kerala on the WEST side of India. More than 100 people were killed in Kollam.

I predict at least 50,000+ dead by the time this is over with. I am also sharing the concerns of others now that Diego Garcia has not even been mentioned yet.

I'm personally gonna avoid all politics on this thread. This seems like one of those "unite all people cuz we're humans" moments.
