(CNN) -- The powerful earthquake that unleashed a devastating tsunami Friday appears to have moved the main island of Japan by 8 feet (2.4 meters) and shifted the Earth on its axis.

"At this point, we know that one GPS station moved (8 feet), and we have seen a map from GSI (Geospatial Information Authority) in Japan showing the pattern of shift over a large area is consistent with about that much shift of the land mass," said Kenneth Hudnut, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

Reports from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Italy estimated the 8.9-magnitude quake shifted the planet on its axis by nearly 4 inches (10 centimeters).

The temblor, which struck Friday afternoon near the east coast of Japan, killed hundreds of people, caused the formation of 30-foot walls of water that swept across rice fields, engulfed entire towns, dragged houses onto highways, and tossed cars and boats like toys. Some waves reached six miles (10 kilometers) inland in Miyagi Prefecture on Japan's east coast.

Oh, boy. Can't this get any worse than this???

that's awesome and all but let's not forget the efforts of the rescue workers, but it's good to see that there's still so much hope and relief efforts

I think the guys on 2ch drew it as support for the rescue workers as well as to maybe comfort some children.

I have been hunting down some of the Ultraman cast.

Looks like Shota Minami (Rei from Ultra Galaxy) is ok.

When they were showing the newsreel of the story they were saying that many families had to choose between saving themselves and saving their elderly or disabled family members...just terrible
