    Still haven't seen tsunami video of the actual wave, 2004 or this one, that has blown my socks off.

    Just heard there was a significant quake in Peru. Hell, hold on tight California.

    According to newly-released research, Dan's on to something here.

    Update again: a THIRD major quake has struck the South Pacific in 36 hours.

    6.9 just hit near Indonesia, about 180 miles away from the epicenter of this morning's.

    At what point do we start becoming concerned about this?

    Dunno, but he's in Jakarta, not Sumatra, which is 500 miles away (the city, at least.) So I would think he's fine, safety-wise.

    But he's probably worked about 18 hours straight by now. I imagine they were all hands on deck overnight, even before the second one hit.

    Here's hoping we hear from him soon, anyway. Just for peace of mind's sake.
