Hi All,
I live in New Zealand and it has not caused any disruption at all.
Although it was a big quake it was very deep and some distance from here. It
has made our National TV news but has not ranked very high in the news.

Steve Quayle mentioned it last night and also mentioned something we in
the U.S. might be interested in. It had something to do with a study
that when there is a really big one THERE IS SOMETIMES ANOTHER LARGE ONE
180 DEGREES FROM IT -- STRAIGHT THROUGH THE EARTH. This would put it in
the general direction of the U.S. ? west coast?

Oh, this was PREDICTED THE DAY BEFORE by Stan Deyo. He predicted it in
the next 2 to 5 days and it came the next day! I think this may be
recorded on Steve's site http://www.stevequayle.com Seems it was about
an 8.1.

The report said it was a 'strike slip' fault which does not usually
cause large tsunamis.

Our media, in the USA, dropped the ball, on this event. I agree with
The Drudge Report, it's almost unforgivable, the lack of initial
coverage. Darren

OK, so don't forgive them. Buy a shortwave radio. I can say that I certainly
heard a lot here even on AM radio.

What sort of coverage were you looking for, exactly?

Shortwave and AM radio are my primary sources for information. Both
venues had adequate coverage. The mainstream press, consisting of
newsprint and television, ignored this, at least initially. What do I
believe their professional obligation is? I think one of the largest
quakes in the last century is newsworthy. That's all. I expect them to
do their job. Darren

Let me now where you live. I'll contact your local paper and make sure they all
come in early and publish a special edition just for you. It'll be at your door
straight away next time.

That might work.

With regards to TV, they have to get people to the scene and begin reporting.
Sometimes not an easy thing to do when total hell has broken out.

I can detect that you are a dues paying member of the instant gratification age.

You sir, are particularly sinical. We, as a society, tout ourselves as
an advanced, and technology savvy people. I expect farmers to farm,
plumbers to plum, and reporters to report. I do my job, without excuse,
garnering no criticism. I admire responsibility. People are not
universally driven by a sense of duty, and we are the worse for that.

You gotta give Dan Blather and CBS time to forge some documents to prove
that this was all Bush's doings.

Interesting, My local paper, the Seattle Times, covered the earthquake
with a preliminary report in their Sunday edition. Since the quake
happened at about 1:00 UTC and the paper gets delivered about 13:00 UTC,
I was a bit surprised. Monday morning's paper has pictures on page 1,
and several pages of articles inside.

Then again, earthquakes are news in in the Pacific Northwest. There's a
subduction zone, just like the one at Sumatra, at the Pacific Coast which
gave the area a 9.0 back in the early 1700's. (The expected repeat is
simply refered to here as "The Big One"). And there's enough connection
to Alaska that the one there in the early 1960's is well remembered.
