Well lunar perigee is in a week or so. But then you have to look beyond "end of the world" freaking out to the fact that if you have stressors and a world that gets pushed and pulled by tides, there are going to be places that crack. The world is very geologically active.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I've got some script problems with it, but it's probably my security settings, you guys may do better with it. It's...kinda upsetting.

Oh, Miyagi Prefecture looks awful. I don't have the bandwidth to keep watching all night.
My Hawaii people say the tsunami warning for them is 3 am their time, so that's what, 6 am for me, 5 board time?

Does Japan use a different scale, not Richter, for earthquakes? I am seeing wildly different numbers reported. It doesn't change what happened, clearly. But it is confusing me and since I can't do a damn thing else...

I think it's just early, so the reports are inconsistent. It'll probably be a clearer picture in the morning.

USGS is saying 8.9, which is consistent with the report you heard earlier, right?
