Actual sign. No children. No Premium.
Just watched news today, China and Japan had been struck by an earthquake.
Japan (north) - with a 8.9 magnitude earthquake followed by a tsunami.
China - with a 5.8 magnitude earthquake? Not sure the magnitude was...
Not a good start to 2011 - with 3 earthquakes (NZ, China & Japan) and Libyan civil war.
UPDATE: There is a tsunami spreading to... New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Hawaii (major), China, Russia, Mexico, A bit of in California, South Americas and many more..

We had the Emergency Broadcast break in about 20 mins ago to tell of the Tsunami warning for the coast here. Should be about 6 1/2 hours from now if it occurs. 8.9 is a MAMMOTH quake. Really a 6 can be quite destructive, a 7 is ten times stronger, and I've felt that. An 8 would be ten times stonger still, and an 8.9 almost ten times stronger than that. So, unless my math fails me, an 8.9 is almost 1000 times stronger than a 6. Hard to fathom. A Guy
That is shocking news i must say, lets hope the death toll is kept to a minimum. lets hope the collective conscience of the planet can make some positive change for the rest of the year
