Here's a map of the world's tectonic plates. Haiti lines up pretty well with Chile. From the map, Chile is a lot closer to a fault line than Haiti, so that probably explains the stronger quake.But I'm no scientist, so feel free to correct me.

there was also a 7.0 in japan and argentina got a 6.3 aftershock. theres also talk of some volcanoes now erupting and then of course the tsunami warnings. its a rough start to the year...but im reading that theres nothing unusual about these quakes. everything is pretty normal.

you know whats interesting...a psychic made predictions about issues in hawaii. he's made a series of predictions the last couple years and 2 of his predictions for 2010 were that this would be the year of the earthquake and that hawaii (he also mentions jamaica in this section too) would see some sort of tropical storm, and perhaps other issues there too. its interesting to say the least, even if you think psychics are full of shit. i typically do, but he seems to be more accurate than some of the others. http://www.mynewsletterbuilder.com/email/newsletter/1410146565

i sincerely hope that the small waves people are seeing are the worst of it. i really do. but i also worry that it could be just the beginning. i wouldnt want them to clear the warning and then later on have a big problem :(

That would be pretty wild to hop on that wave somewhere in the ocean and ride it all the way in. Hours of surfing on one wave!

I'm sitting on the second largest island in the US & hoping Hawaii was a taste of what we're in for. Trouble is our average water depth is much less than Hawaii which magnifies things exponentially. And to boot we are facing directly at it. Damn.
We'll see.
