Yeah I am going to have to call BS on the 130’ wave. Not that they aren’t possible, in fact they are very possible, however if there was a 130’ wave it would essentially wipe out the entire Juan Fernandez population and Chile would not know about it for days. The 2004 earthquake/tsunami which had a greater magnitude than this one caused at it’s highest peak 100’ waves.
Looks more like 4 to 8 foot waves. Small really, but you can’t take a Tsunami too seriously. The first time you do can be the one that sweeps you off your feet and out to sea.

I’ve read the whole thread so far.
That report came in via Twitter, which said “40 meter wave” in an island off Chile. I suspected a unit problem—40 foot wave seemed more likely. Then there can a report from another island nearby of a 36 foot wave.
I think the case is closed.
