Woah.. Weird Jorath. BTW, I have a theory that bad quakes happen on full moons--because of the force of gravity and such-- and sure enough, I go look at the calander, and it was a full moon yesterday! I'm very glad your father made it out ok Lavi. I know-- a wave hitting you at 500mph is like a 747 crashing into you. It'll flatten everything in it's wake.
I hope they don't have more quakes. god, seeing this is just horrible.
