@Joyinthecountry: I knew it would be yestereve when I saw the news breaking. 7.8 is a bear.
I saw this in the NYT and almost gasped. I'd forgotten the logorithmic scale of the things.
@Joyinthecountry: Then I looked it up and ran across this graphic.
@Joyinthecountry Jeezus! Catastrophic news to start this week. :(
