Glad you're okay mate, thoughts have definately been with you guys ever since I heard the news of the quake and ensuing tsunami. Pretty terrifying stuff that I can't even imagine. I've only ever felt one tremor in my life and that was the result of a 4.6 magnitute quake roughly 150km southeast of me, that felt freaky enough and certainly made me skip a heartbeat. Best wishes to you all!

Not only that but, it also moved the Earth's axis, and thus shortened days.
This is no joke, just check:

Yes, I remember hearing something about that soon after the quake, can't believe I completely forgot about it.
