that's the first red alert I've seen since Bush was elected! Not to change the subect from media hype over a tsunami, but has anyone noticed that the terror threat codes were raised like every other week and holidays before Bush was elected...and we've been at yellow ever since....and like 5 holdays have passed?

The type of quake that hit Indonesia was similar to this quake, it's called a subduction quake, if it had been a little stronger and a lot deeper it would have been devastating, the time to reach the Ca, Or, Wa coastline would have been minutes.

Wow...7.4! I know when I lived in WA we had a 3.4 and a 5.4....the 5.4 lasted for nearly a minute. An interesting experience nonetheless
