Sirens going off live on KGMB
You might want to literally consider moving. Seriously. This is getting scary. Stay safe and watch the animals for warning.
I'm only in trouble if the New Madrid fault goes bonkers (BTW, there was an earth quake in Illinois a few weeks ago) and the Great Lakes start jumping out of their "bowls."

I have been watching this Kona cam for over an hour now, looks like an increase in wave activity.
FOX is showing some Hawaii web cam shots from time to time.
This was supposed to be a lightly effected area.
The next update should be interesting
yes, but they are almost 6 feet below the high water mark of the most recent high tide ... the timing is everything, just like with a hurricane’s storm surge.
New Madrid eh ???
Where the Missisippi went backwards for several miles after an earthquake in early 18 somenthing
KITV is reporting that SoCal just received the first surges of about 2 feet. Say LA should experience in one hour.
Twitter:
Hawaii #tsunami forecasts: Hilo 11:05 a.m. local, 6.9 to 8.2 feet; Honolulu 11:37a.m., 1.6 to 2.3 feet; Kahului 11:26 a.m., 3.6 to 10 feet
I am about 15 miles from Cook Inlet at around 120ft. elevation, I’m not too worried.
Tsunami Center 3:25PM EST/ 1025AM HST update:
HILO 1105AM HST 2.1-2.5 METERS
HONOLULU 1137AM HST 0.5-0.7 METERS
KAHULUI 1126AM HST 1.1-3.0 METERS
NAWILIWILI 1142AM HST 0.9-1.4 METERS
HALEIWA 0.5-1.1 METERS
KAWAIHAE 0.6-1.6 METERS
THESE ARE ONLY ESTIMATES...ACTUAL VALUES MAY DIFFER.
A six foot surge is being predicted. That does not sound too significant.

You’re joking, right?

No. I just have not heard anyone put a six foot surge in perspective. No comparisons to surges in recent hurricanes, the 2004 Tsunami, etc. Admittedly, I have not been listening in long.
I like how Teh Messiah said that this was a natural event and “we cannot stop it.”
A 6 foot surge flowing into the marinas will rip the moorings big time.
correct. if it stays at 6' this will be fairly insignificant for those not stupid enough to be in the water.
Awesome depiction of the energy wave emanating from Chile quake!
“I like how Teh Messiah said that this was a natural event and “we cannot stop it.””
He has the same opinion of Communism, it seems.
Tide increasing again at La Jolla.
Yeah, that one....the fault runs all the way up to Minnesota I believe, at least as far as the Mississippi goes.
