Ewa Beach is at the bottom, over the mtns, maybe it won’t be so bad. And they have an upstairs.
My brother and his wife live in Honolulu. Any predictions about beaches there?
Thanks,I watched some simulations of it and understand it now. I also saw a show on Einsteins theory of curved space and gravity and can grasp that too, I have to admit curved light still, well, throws me a curve though :)
Heh. The first weekend I was in my new house the local air raid sirens went off (the nuke ones). I was working in the garage. I stepped out into the driveway saw my new neighbor just standing there. I asked what was up.
Apparently my house is near a flash flood zone and the nuke sirens got co-opted by the city for flash flood alerts so they go off often with good rain storms.
It is true that He speaks through them often.
From the scattered information and models available, it appears the greater risk is in Hawaii than along the continental US Pacific Coast.
In large scale evacuations, people get injured simply in the abnormal disruption of routine workflow, so the risks of damage and injury might be greater if everybody were evacuated, than running the risk of the tsunami being nothing more than a 2-4 ft tide change.
(The again, if the forecaster’s family lives in Crescent City, they might not have time to evacuate if everybody else of the west coast were also evacuating, clogging up traffic,.....but I don’t think there were any ulterior motives...)
Haven’t heard but Fox News has reported that some warning sirens didn’t work.
Are your cats always this jumpy?
Hmmmm. Imagine what the Palins are doing?
Per Twiiter:
7.7-foot tsunami wave crashes into Talcahuano
To help understand, that’s 7.7 feet, on TOP of existing waves, with many minutes of water behind it.
The first waves should hit Hawaii about 4 hours from now at 11:19am Hawaii time, it is 7:09am right NOW there.
I’ve been watching those two myself.
Thanks for the prayers. My 22 year old son is on a vacation there...bicycling around the island of Maui and sleeping in the open. All circuits are busy when i call. I don’t know anything about Hawaii but I hope they have a good warning system for all the islands.
Oahu Beach is going to get it in the neck. Right in the middle of tourist season, too. All those miles of hotels.
Jeez. Hey, does anybody know what the contingency plan for the Pacific Fleet is at Pearl Harbor?
I turned it off and back on and it is working. Try that.
Honestly they have been the in the last two days a bit more unusual but its mostly because they hate having to stay inside, we just had over 8” of snow, last night was unreal the way they were behaving, as a feline barometer I would say its something.
I have no illusions that animals do indeed sense things we humans blow off.
NEW arrival times...Hilo, 11:05, Honolulu, 11:36. Just updated from the Pacific Tsunami Center at Ewa Beach.
Prayers up!
“does anybody know what the contingency plan for the Pacific Fleet is at Pearl Harbor?”
Get out to sea, long before it gets there...
