12 is the "Depth", the "MAG" comes first.

Just here to make this announcement.

Prediction: Japan is about to have a new island to the East

I feel this is relevant to the thread. As you were.

I don't think this was a conspiracy. If it was, why would the magnitude be lowered from a 9.1 to an 8.9? To a seismologist or to the informed on the topic of earthquakes, that's a significant difference. Is it the same principle that makes people feel less of a financial impact if they pay $8.99 for something versus $9.00?

I don't trust Fox News, but this seems a bit of a stretch even for them.

Radioactive steam has now been released. I know it's been talked about for a while but sky news just reported that it has now been released. Damage has now been done so let's hope it works and was worth it. The lesser of two evils it seems.

I hope you are too. :p I started out the day feeling light, and then I got anxious, and now I feel pretty easy again.

Im hoping the worst is over. Thank God Japan is a well prepared country and has good building standards. That quake would have been so much worse anywhere else. Not that they arent suffering tonight, but considering, they did really well.

well if it just leaks for awhile, or whatever you wont hear about that. You will hear everything has been fixed. If it melts down you'll hear about that. That is why they are risking letting radiation out now and working in it, and calling it harmless.. Seems to be the lessor of two evils at the moment.
