    Phivolcs literally gets hugged to death after almost every significant event. Really unfortunate considering the subject matter.

  Lots of sources claiming it might be anywhere between 8.0 and 9.0.

    Al Jazeera:

    > The US National Tsunami Warning Center, which downgraded the quake from an earlier estimate of magnitude 8.2, said the quake posed no threat to coastal areas of the US.
