This is not really a reply but a new subject, related to the grounding.
One of my duties for the company I work for is to monitor, and maintain our seismic equipment. As part of that I perform a daily check the seismic activity in our immediate area and I usually check the Pacific Rim. I live on the Coast of California near San Luis Obispo.
Facts: the San Simeon (6.0) earthquake moved the mountain range at the epicenter about 18" vertically. The earthquake in Indonesia moved islands, I have heard as much as several HUNDRED feet, some appeared, some sank. About 3 days before the Dec. 26 quake there was one of nearly equal magnitude (8.2) on the Pacific Rim Southeast of Austrailia in open ocean. I don't remember the exact distance but I think it was a couple of hundred miles. I believe it was a slip fault not a thrust fault as was Indonesia. Here is the data from the USGS.
DEC 23 14 59 03.6 50.145 S 160.365 E 10 G 8.1 1.3 180 NORTH OF MACQUARIE ISLAND. MW 8.1 (HRV), 8.0 (GS), 8.1 (HRV). ME 8.2 (GS). Mo 1.6*10**21 Nm (HRV), 1.0*10**21 Nm (GS), 5.4*10**20 Nm (PPT). Es 5.2*10**16 Nm (GS). Felt throughout Tasmania, Australia and over much of the South Island, New Zealand.
