Problem is that retrofitting a building is very expensive, but making a new building earthquake resistant isn’t that expensive.

“UPDATE — NOAA: A tsunami has been generated that could potentially impact the U.S. west coast, British Columbia, and Alaska. 4 minutes ago”

I got my son’s globe out and I just can’t see how that can happen. We are kind of around the corner. But what do I know. I think its going to be hard to sleep tonight.

Oh.. They showed what looked like a big pile of rubble next to a road on that Ustream. Was it just a facade?

Someone said the number of injured are being exagerated - 6 dead so far.

How can a president speak like that without a telepropmpter? It sounded like she knew what she was talking about.

...a more stable Westernized country (than Haiti)

I've been to Brazil and Columbia on business but never to Chile so I know very little about it. Just how Westernized it is? And what's the political situation like there? Are Chileans self-reliant capitalists or do you suspect they'll want a bailout like Haiti?

it has yet to specify on Twitter, just that it could impact the U.S. west coast, British Columbia, and Alaska.

Well anything this strong, I don’t think any building can be made to withstand it. But in Japan, one of the good things that came out of WWII is they had to rebuild their whole country and they made all their buildings resistant to quakes and they often have very low death tolls when quakes hit.
