A wave of more than six feet in height has hit the port of Iquique in Chile.
It is a key copper exporting port, close to the country's main copper mines.
Mining companies Codelco and BHP Billiton said that had not yet received reports of damage to mines.

Tsunami watch up to the state of Washington. Panama is somewhere between Chili and Washington. My guess you will be OK, but I thought I would PING you none the less.
Prison escape will probably wind up as prison release as in Katrina, you can’t keep prisoners if you can’t guarantee their safety enmasse.
This is not a “wave”. It is raising the level of the ocean by 6 feet for a period of time. Even a 1 or 2 foot tsunami can cause damage to docks, etc. Six feet isn’t going to over run the entire town I suppose - but it will probably do lots of damage to the harbor facilities.
I wish I didn’t have to read that.
And the sun rises in the west. It's weird down there.

None of that bothered me in Australia until I realized you turn the steering wheel left to go right.
I heard that ice floats in the bottom of a glass of water as well down there (or under). Is that true?
Algore is proud!
The sea has risen!
The Earth is in jeopardy!
We are all going to die!
Hurrah, Hurrah, I was right (AlGore!)
Update from Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii says that Hawaii will NOT likely receive any major tsunami. Expected arrival of whatever they’ll get is 0324 Hawaii time tomorrow morning (0524 PDT)
I’m getting dizzy just reading this stuff, stop it. lol
Very funny bro. The Salton sea is a joke. A very sick joke.
Six feet might sound tame, but that is an s-load of water sloshing around in a harbor in the middle of the night.

I thought maybe they meant meters, but I guess feet it is. Here is another link.

I believe we have had 12’ seas on top of high tide. The storms often hit at full moon.
Maine has pretty big tides.
I’ve seen a gangway with wheels attached to a floating dock, at high tide, it was practically level. At low tide, it was a pretty steep climb.
Bar Harbor had a 12.7' tide at 1:03 this morning, and a low tide of -1.3' at 7:22 AM.
The further Downeast you get, the higher the tides.
The Gulf of Maine.
Yes, we are in the New Moon, when the pull on earth is the strongest, with sun and moon pulling from the same side. The full moon also tends to trigger earthquakes and volcanic activity. Here is another link for a more recent 7.8 down there.
