It's been upgraded here

I previously said that I couldn't understand why the west was reporting an 8.9 magnitude because it was 8.8 over here. Well, now they say 9.0 like the US recently reported.

Wow. I've been in a few earthquakes, but a 9.0 is at the top for sure.

The dead and missing toll jumped from 1700 to over 3000 while I took a nap this afternoon. Legs feel like whipped wet noodles after walking 27 Km. I'm too old for this crap...

But they discovered two people alive trapped someplace (didn't hear where from the news caster). Thats good news.
