Right now, every seismic monitor on earth is popping. They’ll settle later, but this is a pretty awesome sight.

If you get to see this before about six Pacific time on Friday, it should still show the planet literally vibrating from the Japan quake, just like it did after the great Banda Acha quake and tusnami. It’s fortunate that this tsunami has the whole Pacific to raise hell in, not a smaller area like the South China Sea, which could lead to anothe Banda Acha. http://aslwww.cr.usgs.gov/Seismic_Data/heli2.shtml
