Both sides were worn down to a very low level by the end of the year, but the US had the manpower and resources to rebuild during 1943.
I’m on a earthquake forum and we were calling this a earthquake storm last night. It has been steady and relentless only with a small break early today.
A 7.0 can ruin your month -- and an 8.0 is ten times as strong!
Ouch!
from the sonar topography you can just’imagine one plate pushing up over the other one.
Yes, indeed. Most of the major naval battles took place in 1942 (the Japanese offensives and the initial US offensives) and 1944 (the main US offensives), with 1943 being a rebuilding year for both sides (although there were a number of extremely bloody small and medium scale conflicts), and by 1945 most of the Japanese fleet was either on the bottom or stuck in port with empty fuel tanks.

On this list:
There were tsunami warnings posted all around the area of the quake. I read somewhere that one place had a five foot wave and that was pretty much it.
Yes, I had traced it back to that one and was astounded at the progression.It really makes one wonder what is brewing.

And this was just a 6.0, what would the damage area look like from an 8 or an 8.4?
Above Australia? They started having earthquakes in the air now? How high? Aviation affected? Armageddon fer shore!
