Hope all are safe. Was in Christchurch and experienced a 5.4 aftershock once. It was scary enough.

Damn! And I thought it was the loud party down the road that was responsible for the vibrations I was feeling.
Better duck down to the beach and see how much of the coast has fallen into the water.

We all know that a lot of Americans are very bad in geography, especially internationally. The more important problem here, how dare a journalist write an article write on something they should know they know little about? Do they not check? And how did he even think up all the geographical links? Was he fed bad info or did he just dream it all up? Just amazing!
