CNN’s crawler is saying 16ft waves to hit Chile’s shores. 16 or 60?

CNN does not have a real good record with converting from metric to standard.

Areas closest to the epicenter would see smaller numbers. It does not have enough time to build up the energy that causes teh 60 footers. That why Chile may have smaller waves that places hundreds of miles away.
