Down here in Seattle we are "overdue" for a Richter 9.
This is a wonderful 3-D earthquake map of the world... and it’s free.

Liberals hate us - sometimes I think they post a hate comment here so they can quote it someplace else. And you’re right - freepers have been very respectful toward our friends in Japan...
Here’s a free 3/D earthquake map - and it’s free...

I am reminded of the Caribbean Plate events in 1902. First St. Vincent (4,000 killed), next day pyroclastic eruption of Mt. Pelee in Martinique (35 to 40 thousand killed), then Santa Maria in Guatemala (5 to 10,000 killed) and two other volcanoes in Central America. Santa Maria has been active recently. People on a boat out of sight of land noticed sharks leaping desperately out of hot water, then suddenly the whole ocean dropped about 4 feet. This was just when Pelee had its final great eruptive episode. Shoreline areas of St. Vincent changed as much as 15 feet.
