I dunno, they say this quake was 900X stronger than the one in haiti last month. But ya never know, doc might just go out surfing on those 6 foot waves and all the sudden he's the flyin hawaiian riding a 100 foot tsunami.

I just got on the computer for the first time today a few minutes ago, and had an email alert that a tsunami stuck Hawaii due to the Chile 8.8 earthquake.

After reading about it, I came straight here to see if you're OK! :hug: I am so relieved to see you've been online since, and are safe and in good spirits! :hump:

Six foot tsunami waves are indeed dangerous! There can be vast structural damage and death potential. Much of the destruction and deaths in Sumatra were from waves such as these, from the force with which they rush inland. (I'm sure many know this, but I know that many don't. Hence my "reporting" it here. ;))

"Six feet is a lot. Tsunamis have a lot of force behind them," Jenifer Rhoades, tsunami program manager for the National Weather Service.

"My best analogy for you is to think of a flash flood coming in with potentially very turbulent water. It could have debris in it. Six feet was some of the inundation heights for the Sumatra event in 2004. It's very significant and dangerous," Rhoades said.

I'm so relieved to read in one of today's posts that you're at a higher elevation! My thoughts go out to everyone, but I do hope that all your friends and loved ones are OK!

Estimated tsunami arrival times
This is pretty cool... a map of the entire Pacific and continents/islands; the times listed are EST, so there's more to come further west of you; according to the ETAs on this page, for hours to come yet.
