Tsunami warning

[Kevin-n-Merlaine 14]

I didn't see a thread about this and thought there should be one maybe. Magnitude 8.8, 1.29 meters off the Chilean coast.

I'm phobic about earthquakes and tsunamis and thinking about it gives me the creeps. My fiance always assure me that being prepared and alert will always be the key. Presence of mind and know-how especially in disaster are vital.

I'm currently living in Samar and it's one of the areas of concerns. Praying that it will not reach Philippines! I'm praying too for all the people in Chile!

We're concerned about my wife's kin folks in coastal Daval del Sur.

You forgot all the Ilocanos here in Hawaii, esp in Ewa Beach are watching this this Tsunami as well. Yes Hawaii is under a Tsunami warning. I am lucky me an my wife live on high ground.

American Samoa and even all the way up to the Washington coast is under warning -- albeit they'll be worse in the South Pacific.

Praying for all your families and friends who may be affected!

How about the Tsunami ? any news?

[Kathryn41 3,205]

It is currently striking the Hawaiian islands - especially around Hilo. The expected wave is about 6 to 8 feet but that is still unknown for certain (according to CNN).

Will be praying for everyone there! Still expected to hit the philippines?

The Embassy in Mexico City sent me a warning. I guess those DOS warnings work:

Warden Message

U.S. Embassy Mexico City

NOAA?s Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a tsunami warning for the Pacific, to include the coast of Mexico, this morning at 7:46 CST as a results of a 8.8 magnitude earthquake off the coast of central Chile.

Does the Embassy there ever give out warnings for women going to their interviews at CDJ? Daytime street gun battles can be hazardous to one's health.

OMG Hopp, I just saw your post! LOL they definitely should! I registered with the embassy in case of emergencies, and this is the first time I have gotten one of those things. CJ is so ridiculously dangerous but since they just built the new embassy I don't think they plan to move it. I have heard some crazy stuff about shootings at restaurants in the city. I feel like they have a real need to cut down on the immigrants

On a more serious note, I hope everyone makes it through the tsunami ok.

Looks like the Philippines got spared from any high water. Hawaii got spared too, but Japan got swamped a little.
