akshayxyz Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Initial estimates are usually high ( from what I read in last year Japan quakes).. but still tsunami must definitely be on the way. Last night I slept for only 2 hours and then went swimming early in the morning. So when I saw my laptop shaking, I first felt it must be in my head, and then later it shook again - only figured out later from fb-statuses :(
