I don't actually know what close is in this context. But totally eye-balling it, Qinghai is as close the Ring of Fire here as is Manitoba or whatever US state is directly south of Manitoba.

It's not fair. Why do they make women cover themselves up to protect young men, but I'm still forced to live in a world with a buff and shirtless Hugh Jackman?

Seems like. Really felt those p-waves, though. (I think those are the ones that can trigger nausea, no?)

It's 200 miles further out than the one that killed so many in Banda Aceh. Looks like about an hour ago the tsunami warning went out, so people are headed for the hills. Some places are getting predictions of waves several meters high. It's not as powerful as the Banda Aceh quake from years ago or the Japan quake from last year, but it's still a biggie.
Update: Despite the tsunami warning, a rep from the US Survey says a tsunami is unlikely given the type of earthquake.
