[Errant]

Thanks for the great links machogirl. Just returning from a B-day party myself. ;)

Did you notice the USGS lowered the initial report to 7.8 from 8.0 as usual for them? I've suspected a -0.2 fudge for sometime. Now they've upped it by +0.3 above the original report. Very unusual for USGS to do that. Maybe someone got religion as the tsunami heights are calculated from this data (i.e., too low of a report could cost lives)?

Anyway, tinfoil hat off now... ;)

interesting to go from fudge to pudge
