What's amazing, aside from the sheer magnitude of the quake, is how the body count keeps rising. It started with what, 17,000 from quakes and tsunamis? Then it was 23,000, now suddenly it's jumping up again to 100k. It's incredible how far-reaching and long-lasting the effects are.
Apparently it was so strong it mildly altered the rotation of the Earth? My sister apparently read this on some news site. I sort of doubt the authenticity of it, but my sister isn't one to fall for made-up stories.
