USGS: Asia Quake was 9.0

As devastating as the quake and tsunamis that followed are proving to be, I am personally hoping that this release of seismic energy means that Southeast Asia will be calm and peaceful for years to come. They say the ground along the fault moved 10 meters. This map is useful. I imagine this is all people are talking about in Singapore today. Even though Singapore is OK, the people have ties to Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India, and all the other neighbors.

The USGS also asks Internet users if they felt the earthquake, and the map of those results is also interesting.
