Yeah, but they look alike. Somebody scribbles a bad "3" it might look like an "8". Or maybe you spill coffee on that "3" report, or whatever, and it starts getting "8"ish.

In the old days- that might have been the case- but now there's probably not a piece of paper in sight- to scribble actual thoughts, or doodle..

The American military is starting to leave the other end of the island and its starting to settle. When it slaps back down on the water its gonna cause a heck of a tsunami.

no but I have difficulty with key pads that are reversed from what my norm is. At work the zero is at the bottom, here on my laptop the 0 at the top. My cell starts at the top.

Focus, focus focus.

Present

Users of the USGS Earthquake Notification System received a message reporting a magnitude 8.0 earthquake near the Dominican Republic. This was a mistake. In an effort to increase our ability to detect smaller earthquakes in the Caribbean region following the January 12th earthquake in Haiti, the USGS began accepting earthquake locations and magnitudes from additional sources in the region. The message reporting a magnitude 8.0 earthquake near the Dominican Republic was incorrect and resulted in the distribution of the errant e-mail. We acknowledge this was a serious mistake and have issued a correction.
