8.2 on the scale...
same fault line as the big one in december.
8.2 is also HUGE...
coastlines are being evacuated for safety reasons...
if there is a tsunami it could be at the srilankan shoreline in about 3 hours.

The Aids death toll in South Africa is put at 1 million a year, and there is no thread.
That is the point I was trying to make. |

| There's a difference between natural disasters and man-made diasters. The later can be prevented by us, the former cannot. |
