Sure you put Breaking, but at least you didn't do what i did on my first Digg submission. (with my now deleted account)<a class="user" href="http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Quakes/us2007ewac.php">http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Qu ...</a>"Major Earthquake hits Japan. (happened 10 minutes ago, not on the news yet"but hey, it did make it to the front page right as other news sites picked up the story. And was top of the day. :)today people would be much harsher on me for that title i bet.
Seems like more earthquakes in the past few years than I remember in a long time.Is there some data somewhere that we could look at for stuff like this?
A way to predict these high magnitude quakes really needs to be found. I don't care much about the property damage but it would be nice to save lives, especially the children. I found an interesting website about earthquake prediction by monitoring electromagnetic signals. You can learn all about their plans and current research at www.quakefinder.com

Not really breaking. I found out about that in my 11:00 Geo. class.

There is no casualties but there are loss of property and for any nation rich or poor, this is really bad for her.
