It’s you people’s fault. Your campaign against the media has left them without the resources to have bureaus in nearly as many places as they used to. Just the fault of the pajama people and their claiming to be “journalists.”

F=MA force equals mass times acceleration

PER TWITTER:

Tsunami is travelling at 700KPH+ in the open ocean.

thanks

[glock rocks]

Yep. Time derivative of momentum.

You will need to reload periodically, as it times out. It is showing real-time highway traffic and some beach areas.

1st wave predicted in about 10 minutes.

Yikes, I am hearing 35 ft Waves????

Watching the webcam...

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

We are dealing with wave frequency. Speed is the speed of sound under water, water temperature, depth and salinity.

The faster that the depth increases, the more energy the wave will deliver. Hydrostatic pressure and energy are the two prevalent forces, based on the weight and height of Salt water. Velocity is relative to wave frequency..

CNN reporter just got a little upset while interviewing a Tsunami/ Quake expert. The expert was making good points and the reporter wanted a different answer.

Twitter says CNN is reporting a 27 foot drop in the ocean...

[mainepatsfan]

This is surreal just waiting around for this thing to hit.

[Abigail Adams]

Wow, where was that? Off the coast of HI?

HAwaii County PD stressing that like the Indian Ocean TSunami, the first wave may NOT be the largest to come.

[HollyB]

The CNN reporter has been treating the expert like this all day. Very undermining and impatient.

Genius comment from the FoxNews babe:

"Hawaii is the home to many Americans... who go there on vacation."
