I read in another source that the entire Pacific coast of Canada and the United States is under a tsunami alert.

Sitting in Navy Lodge at Yokosuka Navy base at the moment and alerts are going off like crazy. I was out for a walk near the water a while ago and it kicked up high over my neck. Cold and surprising.

An earthquake is caused when two Leftists like Michael Moore and Chris Christie rub against each other at the buffet while reaching for the same crab 🦀 legs
