Surf's up.

QuoteHawaii braced Saturday for a potentially damaging tsunami, after a massive earthquake off Chile sent waves across the Pacific Ocean.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a tsunami warning — its highest alert — for Hawaii, where incoming waves could cause damage along the coastlines across the island chain. A warning was also in effect for Guam, American Samoa and dozens of other Pacific islands.

The first waves were expected to arrive in Hawaii at 11:19 a.m. Saturday (4:19 p.m. EST).

I have a friend in the region where the earthquake tool place, in the northern suburbs of the city near the epicenter. We haven't heard anything from her yet.

It doesn't seem to have been near any major population centers so hopefully there weren't many casualties.

Concepción, 90 km. away from the epicenter, is the 2nd biggest city of Chile. More than one million people live in the area.

A tsunami is a tidal wave, Neil; it's also specifically reserved for a tidal wave directly caused by seismic activity. :contract:
Experience bij!

 Hope Chile is okay. Was playing a game with an incompetent chilean girl yesterday. They are the cream of the south american crop.
It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

Tidal waves are caused by the moon.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

If they were crying because their local GLBT book store collapsed, you wouldn't have said shit.  So fuck off.

He's getting more and more incoherent with age.

It's the cock in his mouth.

Am I : getting stupider? :(
