Loma Prieta was M7.1 by comparison. |

But yes. 8.8 is destructive/catastrophic regardless of location if it's near anywhere where civilization is. |

That 7.9 was initial reports, it is getting upgraded. |

Hope our friends out there are ok.

Japan is going to need a LOT of help. This looks bigger than Katrina in some respects. |
