I haven't read this entire thread so unsure if it was brought up, but did anyone see the stories about the wildlife in that area? I can't remember what station I was watching, CNN maybe, where they were talking about the many different types of wildlife in that area and how nearly no significant losses were found in the population of their wildlife. Apparently the earthquake could be felt by most land-dwelling animals and they all went for higher ground. Pretty amazing story if you ask me. There's probably alot of animals out there not only smarter than the human race gives them credit for, but maybe a bit smarter than many members of the human race itself.

Yeah, that is an interesting part of this story. What allows animals to "know" when something like this is coming while we humans remain oblivious. Are they more sensitive to subtle changes in the weather/air pressure? Or is it just instinct?
Also...the Calgary Sun has a satellite photo on page 2 today that shows a before/after shot of the area - amazing to see the difference.
