Mega Disaster

I've read that a 9.0 Earthquake releases energy equivalent to a 60,000 megaton bomb and is about as large as they can get due to the strength of stone. I imagine not all that gets turned into wave energy. An Indian scientist was quoted as saying that the wave had about 4 megatons of energy. That's a heck of a lot power. It is simply unimaginable, not on a human scale at all. It becomes just a number, like hundreds of thousands dead and millions homeless. Ten people dead are a tragedy. This event is a statistic.

I've read that there are some undersea landslide situations that could produce an even larger wave. Scary biscuits. Still this is one of those disasters. The ones that get written about in science fiction novels and no one really thinks about. Disaster movie type. There are nearly none that are bigger.

I'm not donating though. I'm unemployed and I suppose I still could, but I also remember what happened to the 9-11 donations.
