add to that the fact that depth charts for coastal regions have to altered by up to 3 feet in a lot of places,
GPS system data has to be completely retooled(thanks to the axis change, and the rotation speed change),
and one can only stand in awe at the power of nature.

true. Probably not a great morning to own stock on the Japanese markets. Add to the above issues that
they currently have a national debt of 2X GDP(pre-earthquake GDP) and you have a real potential issue.
