AP - The South Asian earthquake that spawned deadly tsunami waves also
shifted water levels by at least 3 feet in a geologically sensitive
Virginia
well some 9,600 miles away from the epicenter, researchers say. The well
near Christiansburg, which started oscillating about an hour after the
magnitude 9 quake near Sumatra on Dec. 26, is particularly sensitive to
movements in the Earth and is monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey.
