On CNN it said the earthquake had the force of 9.5 thousand atomic bombs. I wouldn't doubt its the cause of so much warm weather where i am. It was like 50 in upstate NY yesterday.
Yea, it was a 9.0 on the rictor scale(and yesI spelt that wrong, right). Scientist determined day was shortened a fraction of a second, the whole Earth shook and that the Tatonic plates(spelt wrong again, I dont give a shit) moved as much as 98 feet which caused Islands to move noticably.
So many died who deserved to live. I couldn't believe it happened at first, its something you would see in a movie, not IRL. Some scientist are using data collected from/before the quake to help predict future mega quakes like this. So in the end, its not all bad, it can help prevent future mass death like this .
