Sad stuff. Looks like this time the Tsunami hits Hawaii unlike after the Chile earthquake.

There have been a number of large earthquakes over the past week or so. Something’s happening and it doesn’t sound good. Most were in the South Pacific. China also had a 5.4, I think it was yesterday and it collapsed something like 1000 structures and killed 24 people.

Hawaii also has had a pretty good sized eruption from that volcano that’s been active for many years.

NOTE TO SELF: When you see the ocean pull back 300+ meters leaving the reef exposed, RUN LIKE HELL for high ground!

The Pacific Northwest is the only reagion on the Pacific Ring of Fire not to have had a Major 8+ Earthquake in recent history. I’m afraid it won’t be long.

Could the Super Moon have something to do with this?

In the LIVE video on post #4. The water moving from left to right is being sucked out. The Beach is to the Left.

holy crap, I thought you guys were talking about the other day. They had a 7.? then I didn’t realize they had an 8.9 sheesh.

Hawaiian emergency officials reminded residents that tsunami evacuation maps can be found in front of their telephone directories.

I use those as fire starter.

Prayers to all in harm's way. Stay safe and head for high ground. I have close family on Oahu, but their house is up high.

No no no. I live one block from the ocean in the tsunami zone and have been glued to the TV all night while I had everything ready to run for it but it did hit but only a couple of feet above normal. (thank God) Big scare for all of us here in Hawaii though. I am on Maui and it has been an hour since the first signs hit us. No big waves and no damage at all on any of the islands that I have heard of.

Completely false alarm. 0 problem - thanks God.

Forgot to mention that we had a 4.5 earthquake last night our selves. It was on the south side of the Big Island. No one even paid any attention to that with an expected tsunami coming in from Japan.

Doesn’t seem like the waves in Hawaii will be that bad. However, if I had a tsunami warning for my area, I don’t think I’d be hanging around the coastal area (as it is apparent people are doing in the live feed), no matter how high their vantage point happens to be.

At 3:30 a.m., television images in Honolulu showed an increase in water coming ashore.

Like ... dude ... SURF'S UP! ;-)

Thanks for the link.

This is the second false alarm in one year. After about the 10th one I bet you’d be pretty inclined to hang at the beach.

Under warning here on central Oregon Coast. Local radio station advising if you're 50+ feet above sea level, stay put, so that's what we're doing.

Portlant TV station reporting that lookie-loo idiots are heading out here from the Valley.
