The strength of that quake is just nuts, and to think that some of the tital waves hitting shore were almost 40ft high is just amazing.

It's now over 11K people dead.

Yea I saw that earler...unfortunately it is something where the death toll will only rise...it started at "around 500".

I cannot imagine an earthquake like that. I mean I used to live in Los Angeles...but almost 9.0! jesus.

The death toll at last count is now nearing 12,000! I can't even begin to imagine it.....

EDIT: In the last 5 minutes, the death toll estimate has gone up another 2000!
