Actually I may have been a little hasty in repeating that "tilted the Earth's axis" thing as a Big Scary Deal since apparently that happens all the time. Whoops. I guess the media is a little hasty to sensationalize every aspect of this story that they can because apparently 10,000 people missing, part of Japan sinking, a new fault opening up in the ocean bed, and a potential nuclear meltdown aren't sensationalist *enough* for some reporters.

BTW I'm about to make a post about help_japan which might be an option if you want to help out but don't have money to donate.
