Tsunami warnings

[nismojunkie]

Hey all. I turned on the news (CNN) this morning before I left for work and there has been a massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chili. There are now tsunami warnings for quite a few countries, reaching all the way to Russia. I'm looking for a list, and I'll update this when I find one. I just want to warn anyone living in the danger areas or anyone that knows someone living there.

Holy crap, it was 1,000 times more powerful than the one in Haiti

[nismojunkie]

The all clear for the Galapagos has been given but I haven't heard of anything else being given the all clear. I wonder how they can give it for some islands off the coast of Ecuador but not for anyone else?

This was the 5th biggest measured earthquake, ever.

The biggest being just a few hundred miles away in the same country.

THE WORLD IS GOING TO END O Well. Time to get ready for the APOCALYPSE. I hope I survive.

[Dittoz7]

Well Nothing Really Happened In Hawaii.

In I Way I'm Glad, But I Feel Like I've Been Let Down By Mother Earth.

:\

[Eikon]

That was the most boring tsunami i've ever seen!

What a dissapointment!

j/k of course.. I'm very happy that nothing major happened! Thank God!

Any word on Arizona?

I might have to get to higher ground.

[Eikon]

Arizona... You will soon have oceanfront property. Hope you've got a surfboard.

YAY!

Picture showing how the energy from the Chilean earthquake will dissipate across the Pacific.

[Dano]

It was a series of tidal surges, not gigantic rogue waves. Still, Hawaiians are very lucky, history has shown how lucky they really were.

I have an uncle in Chile, he is cardiac surgeon. the earthquake happened during a surgery. he is Thanks God fine. Now my family lives in Lima, Peru 15 minutes away La Punta, one in the list. Does anyone know how to read those times were is suppose to happen?

Multiple rogue waves? Lol, that would be scary!

I blame all the metal we're using.

TMS better pack up all the skylines, and baton down the hatches.

[Pieceofsand]

[Dittoz7]

Looks Like South America Grew A Vag.

[themadscientist]

p****-a** wave. I've seen more turbulence in my coffee.

Yeah, but imagine stirring the coffee in your cup over there and having tea water here pitch about in my cup. Quite a bit of energy in that earthquake.

I hope your family is okay ... have you spoken with them?

The time they give is GMT... you live in eastern time, so just take the time they give you, subtract 6 hours, and that is the estimated impact time according to your local clock.

[nismojunkie]

The GMT thing threw me off big time. I thought it was ET and told my friends in Ecuador based on that. Thank God nothing happened.

The beginning of 2012 must be here. 53 people are dead in Europe from killer storms.

Wow. Did he describe how it felt? Must have been scary.

They are fine, just in alert. My uncle in Chile didn't have any big issues, he is just workig more on the clinic to help the people who suffer the most.

[Chiquitita]

Wow. Did he describe how it felt? Must have been scary.

yes it was very scary for him. they handle it ok in the clinic. unfortunately around them all the old historic building are in bad shape and people is out of their houses on the street evacuating building that could be dangerous...
