Tsunami - watch it live!!!
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the people put in harms way by the earthquake in Chile. 8.8 on the Richter scale is just huge. Since we had a small earthquake here in southern Indiana last Summer (a 5.4), I try to remind myself that an 8.8 is 2,500 times stronger. I simply can not wrap my head around that.
However terrible, like a train wreck, it is still an exciting event, especially because there should be a tsunami today in Hawaii around 4:15 pm EST. It will probably be the most televised event ever, given the advance warning. It looks like everybody will have enough time to get out of harms way of the expected 8-foot tsunami. I'm sure there will be a lot of damage, but hopefully no deaths. So tune in for the spectacle...I'm sure every channel on the dial will be covering it.

Yeah, turned out not to be much, thank goodness. Unfortunatly when such great alarm is taken for one and nothing much happens, people tend to ignore the next warning.

Thankfully the tsunami didn't wreak havoc, however the earthquake did do a lot of damage in Chile.

It sure seems like nature is on a rampage... more and more natural disasters of a magnitude not seen before in our lifetimes.
I can't even imagine being trapped in a collapsed building, let alone for several days or a week! How does one keep from losing all hope and/or going crazy?...Or to not have food and water or a warm, dry place to sleep. In Chille, they called out the Army to deal with looting - In the face of such a disaster, is going into a collapsed grocery store for food and water really looting? A flat screen TV - yes, a jug of water and a couple cans of food - not so much.
