"It just shows the incredible force of the earthquake, to move a whole island."

That pretty much says what I was thinking...

This as well :

"Now it's another marine environment that has been destroyed,"

Thanks for that link Gary. I had heard about the quake and tsunami but hadn't yet heard about the island actually moving. Scary stuff. And one of the biggest fault lines is right here at home... "shiver". I can't imagine what those people must be going through there due to the disruption in their way of obtaining food.

We've now seen two large tsunami/quake episodes in the past three years... were there any before this on a regular basis that just slipped past me or is this a new trend with our planet?
