WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A massive magnitude 8.0 earthquake on Tuesday off the coast of Chile, near the mining port of Iquique, sparked a tsunami warning for all of Latin America's Pacific coast, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.

"An earthquake of this size has the potential to generate a destructive tsunami that can strike coastlines near the epicenter within minutes and more distant coastlines within hours," it said.

Again it wasn't’t meant to be taken literally although I do admit I have a deep seeded hatred for the left wing in California when in cooperation with my communist mother they attempted to take my 2 sons away. No not haha shes a commie, she is a card carrying Leninist.

So I will say I did not mean to wish harm on anyone and I am deeply and truly sorry for my inappropriate words

Hopefully it was far enough out so the quake didn’t do too much. And hope that the warning systems and education of the people all around the Pacific is improved. Looks like Hawaii and New Zealand may bear the brunt of the tsunami as it heads west. I’m guessing their warnings/education is pretty good.

"BreakingNews: 6.9 -foot tsunami wave reported at Iquique, Chile, following earthquake"

I was just reading a link from Drudge and if I understand it correctly it was saying the above 6.9ft. wave is preceding the Tsunami...

Coastal residents of northern Chile evacuated calmly as waves measuring almost 2 meters (6 1/2 feet) struck ahead of a tsunami that was expected to come ashore later.

Reuters: If tsunami waves reach Hawaii they would strike at 9:24 a.m. ET, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said in a statement.
