This one a little north of the quake shows a .5 meter jump in the water, if deep ocean, not a good sign when it travels towards land, the wave will grow in height.

there were three quakes, according to the USGS map. one at 8.6 or is it 8.9, a smaller one which I can't get the size of, then we have am 8.2 all on the same spot. now we have a temblor in the south Atlantic, near Antarctica.

I have just finished listening to Tolec again, and he makes  a convincing case. it is becoming one of those cases where, the stories we hear from such as Tolec seem to play out in real life, the events in the world vindicating them

USGS, originally pegged it at 8.9 and RSOE showed a double quake with the aftershocks also. Gives CNN something to talk about other than Syria. :-)
