Yea, I don’t get cable tv news so this is this news show via the internet is it for me. The live streming is real good. But...time for bed. Up way too late on this one.

Its 3:20am here in Alaska, I went online 10 minutes ago, it appeared to me that the internet is having major connection problems, took me 10 minutes just to get here to post this.

Nothing here on a tsunami warning, looking at the Hawaii report now.

What happens along the ring of fire happens here.

At 6:48 a.m. ET on Saturday, the PTWS released a message which states:

“A tsunami has been generated that could cause damage along coastlines of all islands in the state of hawaii. Urgent action should be taken to protect lives and property.”

The bulletin goes on to say, “A tsunami is a series of long ocean waves. Each individual wave crest can last 5 to 15 minutes or more and extensively flood coastal areas. The danger can continue for many hours after the initial wave as subsequent waves arrive. Tsunami wave heights cannot be predicted and the first wave may not be the largest. Tsunami waves efficiently wrap around islands. All shores are at risk no matter which direction they face. The trough of a tsunami wave may temporarily expose the seafloor but the area will quickly flood again. Extremely strong and unusual nearshore currents can accompany a tsunami. Debris picked up and carried by a tsunami amplifies its destructive power. Simultaneous high tides or high surf can significantly increase the tsunami hazard.”

The estimated arrival time in Hawaii of the first tsunami wave is 11:19 a.m. HST which is 4:19 p.m. ET today.

You can keep posted as further information is available at www.prh.noaa.gov/ptwc/

See post 410, and the link there. Seismologists don’t use the Richter scale any longer.
