The local (anchorage, ak) news is not calling for emergency evacuation of coastal communities here, but I looked on the projection times and it's all up the pacific coast and Hawaii. Yuk.

The last news I heard was the wave should be 5'to 7' high. So it shouldn't go too far past the coast line. I hope there aren't any silly people who stand on the beaches to see it. :shock:

These earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes are just scaring me. Never seen so many so close together.

Wish Terri would post.

Yes, these are worrisome, hopefully partly media hype. I am a bit concerned, I have a son down there (fly fishing guide) but I think he is pretty far down from where the earthquake hit! That being said, we sure would love to hear from him, last time he had just left 4 days prior to the volcano erupting and it wiped out one of the fishing camps he worked at.

The tsunamis are a direct result of the earthquakes.

But it is scary to see two huge earthquakes one so soon after the other, and in such different places, too. I mean, Haiti is in the Atlantic Ocean and Chile is on the Pacific Ocean. I wonder if anything will happen to the continental countries between them: Brazil, Bolivia, whatever else is there.

By the way, the governor of Hawaii says the threat to Hawaii is over.
