There are thousands of people deprived of shelter who need aid and the Japanese Red Cross Society says it will accept donations from abroad. See http://www.redcross.org/ and http://www.redcross.org.uk for example. Just had good news that a friend who has been teaching English in Japan is safe and now in the UK. Phew! Awards

Japan moved 8 ft. during the quake. I just feel if they shifted the earth 8 feet there it may have disturbed the earth somewhere else and that spot, wherever it is, may then shift itself to get more comfortable resulting in more quakes. Here is the list of the top 15 since 1900: • Chile , 1960 05 22, 9.5 magnitude • Prince William Sound, Alaska, 1964 9.2 magnitude • Northern Sumatra, 2004 9.1 magnitude • Kamchatka, 1952 9.0 magnitude • Japan, 2011: 8.9 magnitude • Chile, 2010 8.8 magnitude • Ecuador, 1906 8.8 magnitude • Alaska, 1965 8.7 magnitude • Northern Sumatra, 2005 8.6 magnitude • Assam and Tibet, 1950 8.6 magnitude • Andreanof Islands, Alaska, 1957 8.6 magnitude • Southern Sumatra, 2007 8.5 magnitude • Banda Sea, Indonesia, 1938 8.5 magnitude • Kamchatka, 1923 8.5 magnitude • Chile and Argentina, 1922 8.5 notice that 5 of the 15, that is 1/3, have happened in only that last 7 years! Holy crap! Awards

And Yes there was this stuff before........ It is just more known now because of TV and crews being able to get out and more warning systems. This stuff has been going on for years. Angel, it has been going on for years, but it has been getting worse in recent years. Look at the list of earthquakes in my response to Shamu..... Awards

We just hear about it more and if u study the "cycles" that have been recorded over the years we are just in an active time of these "cycles". We just hear about it more cause of the advancement of Time. The Tsunami's have been recorded for a very long time but we are just now understanding them.
