The BIG quake : How far has the shockwave gone

8.9 on the richter scale, that is the biggest I’ve ever heard in my life. The ground shaking tremors followed by 7m high Tsunami waves and then blasts in the nuclear plant and nuclear radiation alerts, life couldn’t be worse for the Japanese. They say, ‘the Japanese are always waiting for the big one’. It is not a coincidence that Tsunami happens to be a Japanese word. But for a quake this big, even the expecting and suspecting couldn’t be prepared.
