Seismologists have upgraded this morning's earthquake in the Southern Ocean to 8.1 on the Richter scale, making it the biggest anywhere for three and a half years.
It was originally reported as being magnitude 7.2 and 450 kilometres west of the Auckland Islands
It hit just before 4 o'clock this morning, lasting about seven seconds..

Well,,,,the magnetic pole shift is already well underway!! The true phyical pole shift is going to happen after the magnetic shift is done.The magnetic pole shift is real, and has been documented this fall by many in the worldwide scientific community. The "phyiscal" pole shift is going to take much longer, as it has in the past..

that is what I'm talking about, but my question reminds -can this earthquake be a real evidence of "physical" pole shift???

There is another big quake... well, I REALY hope that Byrd and Indy are right -I'm not a person who wants to preach destruction, but those high magnitude quakes are not without reason

This quote from the AP news report this morning indicates that this quake was so severe that it disturbed the earth's rotation.
"All the planet is vibrating" from the quake, said Enzo Boschi, the head of Italy's National Geophysics Institute. Speaking on SKY TG24 TV, Boschi said the quake even disturbed the Earth's rotation.
The U.S. Geological Survey measured the quake at a magnitude of 8.9. Geophysicist Julie Martinez said it was the world's fifth-largest since 1900 and the largest since a 9.2 temblor hit Prince William Sound Alaska in 1964.

I'm wondering -is it possible that this was other way around??? something disturbed Earth rotation which produced this earthquake? I'm not scientist, I might make huge misstake....

If a single large earthquake can disturb the earths rotation, then what happens if multiple large earthquakes occur at the same time? Pole shift?
