Breaking News!

OMG!!! First Christchurch now Japan!!! Well of course it was obvious they're on the same fault line anyway... hold the phone. I'm going to fast. It's just so overwhelming and soooo sad. Christchurch got hit by an earthquake and now Japan... but this one bigger. Anyway the original magnitude of the quake was 7.9 then upgraded to 8.4 and now most recent level is 8.9. I think the highest point on the Richter Scale is 10... but there has never been one recorded that high. But you never know with nature.  It sometimes can be a beautiful thing but other times it's just horrible. Anyway here is a quick table to show you something about the Richter Scale:

Richter magnitudes	Description	Earthquake effects	Frequency of occurrence
Less than 2.0	Micro	Micro earthquakes, not felt.[6]	About 8,000 per day
2.0–2.9	Minor	Generally not felt, but recorded.	About 1,000 per day
3.0–3.9		Often felt, but rarely causes damage.	49,000 per year (est.)
4.0–4.9	Light	Noticeable shaking of indoor items, rattling noises. Significant damage unlikely.	6,200 per year (est.)
5.0–5.9	Moderate	Can cause major damage to poorly constructed buildings over small regions. At most slight damage to well-designed buildings.	800 per year
6.0–6.9	Strong	Can be destructive in areas up to about 160 kilometres (100 mi) across in populated areas.	120 per year
7.0–7.9	Major	Can cause serious damage over larger areas.	18 per year
8.0–8.9	Great	Can cause serious damage in areas several hundred miles across.	1 per year
9.0–9.9		Devastating in areas several thousand miles across.	1 per 20 years
10.0+	Epic	Never recorded	Extremely rare (Unknown)

Okay lets keep going with the news. The quake has caused massive tsunami's and on TV right now I'm watching live footage of the tsunami just washing cars and people and houses and factories and just people's lives and everything they own just washing everything away... I feel so bad because right in front of my eyes I'm watching cars that are still moving on the road just being washed awa... and now dad changed the channel to Rugby. Yay!!! and Awwww!
