Just Great. Florida's water table affected by the quake in Japan.

[The Backlash Cometh]

Officials: South Fla. water table rose up to three inches after quake

<snip>
He said the flow of Florida's aquifer is quite fast.

"It's good because we can filter a lot of water through there," Wdowinski said. "But it's bad because in the case of pollution, it can travel very quickly."

Changes in groundwater levels were also seen in South Florida after the Haiti and Chile earthquakes. Wdowinski said a 20-foot rise was seen after a 9.2 earthquake in Alaska in 1964.

"I wouldn't say it's normal, but it's not unusual," Wdowinski said of the variations.
