Not hard to believe that the quality of journalism is declining when you read a comment like "Santa Maria Island... may have been raised 2 meters (6 feet) as a result of the latest quake." Hmmm, too bad we can't measure something on a scale accurate enough to know if this is close to being true. I'm guessing that if the Island was raised, they meant "in relation to sea level." Of course, with all those waves, it really makes it tough to measure... how on earth did that comment get by the editors.
