Well, actually, literally incredible.

The linked map, from Ohio State, with the red arrows, seems to say
that Concepcion moved, not ten feet, but maybe two feet at the most.
I am basing this on a naked-eye effort to compare the length of the Buenos Aires arrow,
which represents movement of two inches, to the Concepcion arrow, which is maybe
eight times as long.

Is there some terrible error here?  Mine?  or someone else's?
