8.0 earthquake.

[reed13k]

Prayers given for those in harms way.

Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd’st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

[b4its2late]

That’ll do it.

I wonder if this had anything to do with the earthquake off California coast this morning???

This event has also spawned a Tsunami WATCH for Hawaii (issued by a different office)

lived in coastal Alaska for many years. Tsunami warnings are SERIOUS BUSINESS. But where I am now, if this place is ever in flood/tsunami danger, the entire world is DOOOOMED. (I live in Denver...)

This guy predicted both the California & Solomon Island quakes...today...he puts up a new map every day.

Stunning.

Can Kalifornia secede from the US and sign the papers to rejoin Mehico about one day before the big one hits and demolishes the entire state out there?

It would be damn entertaining to watch them attempt to rebuild the infrastructure and deal with millions of homeless folks without one US Federal dollar.

It would then look like... Mexico, with spanish-only speakers streaming out of CA into neighboring states, looking for the next handout.
