    Revised to 8.4, offshore, tsunami warning but no tsunami. Good film of an avalanche of dirt and buildings moving inland about 10 mph.

    In all seriousness, I hope casualties are minimal. Natural disaster such as these are extremely sad.

    I was watching MSNBC. Isn't a tsunami a wave that travels thousands of miles, like from Japan to Hawaii? I think the word is being misused here. Tokyo says 8.4, but a foreign seismometer says 8.9.
