I heard that most of the fabs in Taiwan are shutting down by the earthquake at this moment due to the nationwide power outage on the island (although the fabs were apparently not damaged by the 7.6 earthquake according to the news). As I can understand most of the fabless companies (XLNX ALTR) went down a lot and MU went up significantly in the last hour of trading today (right after the earthquake), but I do not know the reason why INTC was also knocked down by one dollar at the same time after the earthquake. Are they related ?

DownSouth: 8 is the asymptote so that tremor must have been a doozy. I can't imagine that there wasn't more damage. JFD
