Yeah, but 2.4 meters in what direction? I’d like to save gas if possible next time I’m headed that way.
Looks like a different picture on the ground!
Mutiply that pic by hundreds of miles. We have no clue as to the loss of life right now.
10 INCHES!!???
That might work in the singles bar.
But I say it is only six.
Ain't that the truth. When I was a newspaper editor, I never hired a single journalism major.
I knew a girl who majored in physics, minored in math, and went to grad school in meteorology, doing atmospheric modeling, chaos theory, etc. She decided she didn't want to do research, and then decided she wanted something even more fast-paced than science writing, so she applied to be a newspaper editor. They were skeptical about hiring someone with her background, and she had to convince them to give her a shot as a copy editor.
Within only a few years, she was editor in chief of one of their chain's papers.
“St Louis moved an inch due to the quake? Really?”
Yea, what’s these young Zombies dependent on their GPS gonna do now...?????
I put my little Garmin up against a $50,000 Leica setup. We differed by 0.3 decimal seconds....about 22 feet. It’[s a great toy.
Simple answer: Yes.
More detailed explanation: They felt the 7.2 precursor two days before the main shock, they have been educated to know that any earthquake can be a fore shock of a larger quake, to know that they live in an area prone to tsunamis, with a network of signs showing evacuation routes. They felt the 8.9 main shock, and had well over an hour before the first tsunami waves arrived to evacuate to higher ground. Decades of earthquake education, strict building codes, tsunami education, and instant earthquake alerts all will combine to result in tens of thousands of saved lives.
But you were the one who was trumpeting some astrologer I can't even remember - did he identify any time frames for supposed disasters? Yes. Did they fail to be accurate? Yes. Did he fail to identify any specific location? Yes. Did his failed prediction save a single life in this disaster? No.
I hope by now that you've abandoned whatever support you had for this quack astrologer with his inaccurate general predictions.
The Erath also spins, and travels around the Sun, so at times, what was nearest the Sun, is farthest away.
Not sure but I do recall reading something years ago that white is an extremely popular vehicle colour in Japan. In fact if you go way back to the old days of national colours in racing cars white was the colour for Japan. Green for Britain, Blue for France, Red for Italy and I think silver for Germany.
Well since it is the axis and not the whole earth that means while it basically increased it’s title towards the sun, that means the other end got tilted further away. Therefore it all balances out. Or at least that would make sense to me. But I got woken early today so my mind is mush.
Japan also drives on the opposite side of the road to the US and thus have steering wheels on the right side of vehicles.
Thanks for the ping. I would like to know whether the landward (west) side of the fault moved north or south.
During the Blame Bush years I wrote a small town Lefty news rag and made this suggestion:
Change the name of the San Andreas Fault in CA to, of course Bush's Fault!!!
Thanks for that info on both posts. Interesting.

Some like it that wide.
Civilization exists by geological consent - subject to change without notice.
The Japan earthquake was an 8.9. The Boxing Day (2004) earthquake near Indonesia was 9.1.
I saw another one of these Super Moon types who predicted a “BOOM!” on March 11 one week ahead of time.
