Can that be right when the wave has not reached Hawaii yet?

If we are being honest this has turned out to be a non-event and so will the smallish tsunami. The only noteworthy thing is the size, 8.8

Speak for yourself and don't include "me" in your "we".

If you consider that the tragic and horrible deaths of children, men and women, the injuries to many others, the huge destruction of property and infrastructure and the untold fear, grief, uncertainty and misery that is afflicting not only Chileans but others as well is a "non-event", then all I can say is that your opinion shows either a total lack of understanding of the magnitude of this tragedy or utter callousness towards your fellow humans -- or both.

And that's me being honest.

No that wouldnt be true, the first waves wouldve hit Chile. We have warnings out for our east copast still. Waiting for latest warning, shouldve been issued, 30 minutes ago

I remember the BBC saying that world trade centre 7 had collapse...25 minutes before it did...it was still visible behind the reporter...

Actually disregard that, the waves shouldve reached that far by now

I live in So California...why so much concern in Hawaii, and not a word about the west coast of the U.S.? I mean I live in a Tsunami inundation zone here. Anyone have any info about CA???

Yeah I just saw a map that show the wave reachin NZ before it reaches Hawaii.

due to the contours I guess!!

Yes, it could be. On open water though, I would assume tsunami waves gather more speed. We had a warning for our east coast at 5:30am....hasnt reaches yet, but expecting updated warning very soon

The NOAA only has a Tsunami Advisory out fore the west coeat of the US, Canada and Alaska

NOAA rep citing as saying on CNN there will be turbulent waters and sterong currents.

I think probably becuase it the forces have been weakened after moving up the West coasts of south and central america.

i think the main concern for Hawaii as it is right in the firing line!

For an 8.8 earthquake 147 deaths is incredible, hopefully the casualties won't rise...has CNN reported about the number of deaths in Concepcion, Chile the closest city to the epicenter?

Also I was watching CNN at about 5 AM and the meteorologist was saying that some cities along the coast of Chile could be underwater as a result of the tsunami.

Just came through....new sea level rises:

Raratonga, Cook Islands 0.35m

It was just this minite reported on sky news,


That was my first thoughts aswell, thats why i put in the google map link i couldnt make sense of it, but maybe it has something to do with the seabed

thos islands are largely uninhabeted

Stay on topic guys there are plenty of other 9/11 threads.

But its a good example of MSM getting things wrong, and Strange "preictions"

But please.

Oregon here...CNN says that the West coast isn't going to be effected that much.
It's more Hawaii that they are concerned about since it's directly in the path of where the earthquake struck.

Have a look at the wave progression map on the Sky Website you will see what I mean

NZ is around 12h HW is at around 15H

Yup its true New Zeland has just been hit by a erm 20cm meter wave BUT they are expecting 1-3 meter waves to hit shore, the real bad thing is that locals are unaware of any warning

Here

I do not know if anyone already post about this..

Do not forget yellowstone...

You just take a good look at this....

26.02 see it at the bottom...

www.quake.utah.edu...

And 27.02

www.quake.utah.edu...

Can you see any data about this.. ? I don't.

No one is talking about it.... and that is very strange.

Not even on RSOE EDIS

hisz.rsoe.hu...

anyone else read this on cnn:

"The 13th Air Force, in Hawaii, also launched planes with speakers attached to them to alert people in coastal areas not nearing sirens to evacuate."

how do they do that? wont the engine be louder than the speaker? arent they flying fast? its not a hovering helicopter...
