Now you get the idea of what I was getting for a few months after the quake/tsunami up north. And that one actually did have some localized devastation.

I think that the media played the Japanese tsunami for all it was worth, ran out of headless chickens, and so had to trump up some new mega-disaster. Sorry East Coast, it's your turn... Gotta sell them newspapers somehow!
