If you click on the link I posted to you- then look over on the left you can click on “Real Time Worldwide” every now and then, you’ll see the red squares- they’re the earthquakes within the last hour.

He went wacko against a expert when that expert was not hyping up the tsunami threat to the Hawaii Islands.

Man, oh man...that’s amazing.

Exactly the reason we keep out TV off 95 percent of the time now. Watching these people try to exaggerate and embellish things like this Hawaiian tsunami reporting, was just too much.

[dragnet2]

Exactly...We saw that!!!

Here is a graph and info. posted by sanchmo of the last Tsunami in Hilo.

It took a while to play out.

=================

1960 Hilo tsunami, which was caused by a 9.5 earthquake in coastal Chile, less than 50 miles from today's earthquake:

1. Tide increases 4 feet higher than normal.
2. Within 15 minutes recedes to about 3 feet lower than normal.
3. Within 30 minutes increases to ~9 feet higher than usual.
4. Within 1 hour, recedes to 8 feet below usual & increases again to about 10 feet above normal.
5. Over next 2-3 hours, water goes through 5+ cycles of receding & surging 5-10 feet below/above normal.

Wow, good graphic representation. Thank you!

“Hawaii dodged a bullet” PER FNC, quoting an official at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, not a official statement just a personal remark of said official.

[dragnet2]

Boats are coming back into the harbor in Kilo.

Yep, lots of people back on the beach.

[Cementjungle]

Watching these people try to exaggerate and embellish things like this Hawaiian tsunami reporting, was just too much.

I'm just wondering if any of the media are watching to make sure Congress isn't using this opportunity to sneak some bill through or something.

[SE Mom]

Whoa...

[ElenaM]

Hope they aren’t making a fatal mistake.
