What's amazing, fascinating, interesting, scary, frightening or whatever, is that this affected so many countries...you know what I mean? You hear of terrible quakes in Turkey, Japan, China, Mexico, even America but those are in one country and land-based (usually). This one just does a shake in the ocean floor and like ripples in a pond...produce waves that keep going until they hit something. This wave travelled thousands of kilometers and hit the African coast (Somolia..I think) and 9 were confirmed missing. Unbelievable!!
