    Well, in all of these you have to figure "where the earthquake occurred" in regards to closeness to the water, "how deep the earthquake occurred" because you can have a strong quake below the surface and not nearly have as much of an impact, and "the magnitude of the quake itself" because we're on log-scale folks... though i'm not sure if that's base-10 or base-16. An 8.0 earthquake is that much less intense than a 9.0 earthquake... they aren't even the same creatures.

    So, i don't think we can necessarily be shocked that Hawaiian civilization wasn't cleaned from this earth.
    I believe it is base 10. An 8.0 is 1/10 the magnitude of a 9.0.

      CNN is showing a lot of damage- granted, this quake was 500-1000x stronger than the one in Haiti, but, as opposed to Haiti, Chile has been having building codes for 'quakes since the 1920's.

      I wonder if some of the codes were only built "enough" to pass inspection....

      There are modern bridges down, significant damage to modern buildings, etc. I would have expected some less damage to *some* of the newer structures.
      There's not much you can do to prevent damage from 8.0-9.0 earthquake. It can be minutes of violent violent shaking.

        In other news, a major earthquake hit Vancouver about 4:30 today. That was when Parise scored to send the Olympic hockey game into overtime.

                  I haven't been watching the coverage...how many of the reporters/anchors have been pronouncing "Chile" the same as "Chili?" Probably the same mouth breathers who pronounce "Iraq" as "eye-RACK" and say people from Afghanistan are "Afghans."
