Actually, it's slightly off the coast from what I gather.
But dayum ... 8.9? The largest quake recorded was 9.5 magnitude in Chile in 1960. Tsunami's and everything.
I can't imagine what an 8.9 would do to SoCal.
Edit: There is some helicopter video footage that captures the Tsunami surge coming in like a big mudslide and it is unreal. CNN may have some of it here: »www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/0···iref=BN1
reply to dogma yah.. some of my co-workers from back-east were asking "what is an 8.9 like?" .. it told them that it is "unimaginable" .. I can't even fathom it.. makes our little 6.5 - 7.1's seem tiny.. -- Don't blame OS X users for YOUR poor choice in an OS...
