There have been nine point or higher earthquakes before, and there is no way it would have knocked the earth out of it's axis, literally sunk any islands, or wiped out any tribes.
I'm sure the writer already knew this, I'm just ruining his fun at your expense.
so you don't believe me? do some research. read the article i posted. read any article you can find on this.
remember: this is the biggest earthquake ever recorded. earthquakes are measured on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the strongest. if a 10 point earthquake were to occur, it could potentially split the earth in half. 9 is really close to 10. the second strongest earthquake occured in Californa, and it only measured a 7. thats almost nothing compared to a 9.
plus, a 30-foot tall wave that goes 3 miles inland can do some pretty serious damage. try standing up to one.
