We used to think a magnitude 7.0 earthquake was too small to generate a tsunami.

We have a better map of the surface of Venus than we do of our own ocean floor.

I couldn't help but be impressed by the magnitude of the earthquake.

Most seismologists are surprised, and frequently skeptical, that you can predict the magnitude of an earthquake before it has ended,

I think if we had the same magnitude of devastation that they had, we would be very much challenged as well,

It is a genuine shocker... I don't think anyone anticipated a decline of this magnitude.
