Hi Rowland,
We can only hope that your friends and their families who were in Sendai
are OK. Please let us all know when you get word.

That's something I would like 'officially' authenticated before I believe it, rather than take CNN's word for it.

Hi Ken,
A similar phenomena was reported during the large Chilean earthquake last year.
See IceInSpace thread here -

One of the major observatories for measuring these types of shifts, named TIGO, happens
to be located in Chile and was ironically damaged in the Chilean earthquake.
See this IceInSpace thread -

So an authoritative reference for the CNN report might pop up soon that can
verify the magnitude of the shift. Incredible to think about.
