On the radio KFI LA..
Ongoing prayers for the nation of Chile and all those where affected by this disaster.
back from fine dining.
What channel are you watching?
I think you asked about the faults earlier.
The Haiti fault is slipping sideways; this one in Chile is where the plates are driving into each other, with one going down as the other runs over the top of it. The sudden drop or raise of the ocean floor will displace more water, and the length of the moving fault will also impact the size of the tsunami.
Makes sense. Thanks!
214 dead confirmed in the country. This was no Haiti.
Figures, things like that tend to happen during these disasters.
where at? link?
Yikes- that’s incredible.
Reminds me of the pictures of the huge gambling ships dumped on the streets on the Gulf Coast after Katrina. (In case anyone was wondering- that hurricane DID hit places other than NOLA)
I’m sure that number will rise. Sadly.
I’m from the future. I survived Hurricane Gak in 3005.
Excellent- thanks:)
hopefully over the next five or six hours there will be more of the same - little to no effect.
Those surfers in the water are idiots, tho. I wouldn’t trust the riptides. That surfer down now doesn’t look like he’s making much headway into swimming to shore now he’s off his board. Darwinian selection in process.
Katrina went over my dad’s house in Picayune MS and to this day he despises the media for forgetting MS in favor of NO.
It was on CNN...The harbor literally looked like it had been nuked. Everything was damaged, ships up on docks etc.
