God Smites Asians, All At Once, For Not Celebrating Christmas
by Neoteric at 10:32 am EST, Dec 26, 2004 |
A freaking *8.9* earthquake hit yesterday, causing honest to gosh tsunami to sweep all along the coast for hundreds of miles, wiping out just about everyone in the way. Sunbathers, scuba divers, fisherman, _entire vacation parks with 200+ bungalows_, you name it, it wound up either in the ocean or back out of the ocean yesterday. News reports are still working their way around to this side of the planet, but expect CNN to be all over this eventually.

This link goes to the USGS web page on the quake, with lots of technical data and charts that various news organizations will reference without linking.
