The impact of the earthquake that hit Japan this morning shifted the earth's rotation axis is nearly 10 cm. It's the preliminary result of studies carried out by INGV, National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology.

That folks, is a HUGE ****ing earthquake.

The firewall @ work wouldn't let me on the website so what does this mean? For example, in KC this summer are we looking at 120 degree heat or should we worry about a July 4 blizzard?

I just thank God that my son is ok, got that confirmation this morning. He's a Marine stationed in Okinawa.

Japan is nothing if not resourceful, they'll bounce back.

Did the supermoon do it? Scientists debate if lunar phenomenon caused tsunami

I'm going to go out on a limb and state that the earthquake caused the tsunami.

I figure it was a Broncos trainer winning the Fain-Cain Award that caused the earth to shift. That uber-event is probably what caused it.

What was bizarre... I had read before going to bed, that today was going to the "Day of Rage" in Saudi Arabia with massive protests... little did we know today would actually be the "Day of Waves".

The Saudis said **** protesting... this should keep the price of crude down a bit. Plus, it is down about $2 today.

Ironically, this whole ordeal may "strengthen" the dollar for the near term and maybe oil will decrease giving us a bit of an ease. Unless more EQ's happen of similar strength, which is very possible.
