This one is now rated an 8.8.

The Richter scale is not linear in nature. a 7 is 10 times stronger than a 6, and so on.

So this quake was about 15 times stronger than the one that hit Haiti.

Think more along the lines of 60 times stronger then the quake in Haiti.

Its almost mind boggling to think about it
