SE ASIA TSUNAMI
Like you, I am stunned by the images and wave files from SE Asia regarding the earthquake and tsunami and the massive loss of life. Earth Observatory News from NASA has a drawing of the tectonic plates involved in this disaster, the best drawing I've seen. To see the size of Sumatra and to read that it was moved 100 meters by the earthquake is beyond words. To read that the energy involved was 23,000 times the power of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima is beyond my ability to imagine. Then to read that this was caused by global warming is laughable

Media Linking Killer Tsunami to Global WarmingI wonder if we will see more super quakes reverberate around the ring of fire. Since the earthquake was caused by a subduction zone like we have here in the Northwest, I wonder if we will soon experience the same kind of earthquake. Let us pray for the families of those who died, that their souls are not made bitter by their losses.
