Does anyone know how big the earquake was?

Man, that really sucks, Bbandit went back home to Indonesia for the break, hope him and his family is okay. I have them in my prayers.

The U.S. Geological Survey (search) said the quake's magnitude was 9.0 — the strongest since a 9.2-magnitude temblor in Alaska in 1964 and the fourth-largest in a century.

I was in that part of Thailand a couple of years ago. Great place and tons of great memories. Anyhow, i just donated a few bucks to the redcross website. If you have a buck or two left from your x-mas shopping, please do the same. Here is the website (http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/asiapcf/12/27/quake.aidsites/index.html) ..... It's a chance to give where it's really needed.
