maybe animals could hear the quake and could run away before the wave reached land, or else feel the vibrations... i know my dog goes nuts a hour or so before a thunderstorm, imagine what a 8.9 magnitude quake would do to him...

Yeah, animals are something else. Just like deer during hunting season. They're around all year and walk right past you but come hunting season, they're nowhere to be found. They definately can sense trouble.

I am told that the Earth is at a faster rotation because the EQ was strong enough to "rattle" the entire planet. Days are supposedly shorter in seconds now. oOo: eek:

The 2003 quake hit at 01:56:52 UTC, while the 2004 quake struck at 00:58:55 UTC – exactly one year, 58 minutes apart.

Can you not show one once of respect. I can't believe you can think innocent death and destruction is cool. I bet you didn't act this way during september 11th. These are people too. I bet in that patong beach video a thousand people died in just that minute. How is that cool, you are fucking sick.[/quote:b2eb7]

im viewing the wave as a force of nature as cool. not the deaths.
