There was a tsunami warning in Hawaii where my parents are right now, they all had to evacuate the beaches and go to higher land, but it turned out to be a small one and not much at all.

In Japan it hit hard though

Just looking at the pics on the news was sad

Now they're saying that this may have changed our earths rotation and shortened the length of our day. Crazy!!!

"1.26 milliseconds" - Is that it? Iw as expecting it to say 22 hour days or something haha.

I didn't read all of that but something about the earth spins at 1,000MPH now that's crazy when you think about it, it's a wonder you don't get dizzy.

The earthquake didn't speed up Earth's rotation, Arshavin did.

Should put that somewhere else
