Tsunami was recorded at 9 feet, last I heard.

First a 7.0 in Okinawa, Japan, now this. Hmmm. The Earth sure is restless this month.

Gaia is pissy. I can't say as I blame her.

Mother Gaia is really really annoyed with all the naked monkey-things messing up her skin.
There is also concern about the massive chunk of ice that broke off of Antarctica raising hob with the climate of the entire globe.

She is really pissed. This may be the equivalent of delousing.

Also? I have friends vacationing in Hawaii right now, though it sounds like the have plenty of warning time to get out of the way.

Between this and Haiti, orgs like Doctors Without Borders are going to be overwhelmed.

Regarding this, the brilliant MSNBC anchor commented, "Oh course you know we have a large American population in Hawaii...."
