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.

I had emails from her today...

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.

Didn't Terri go to Vietnam on vacation? I forget when she was going. Hope all is okay. Doesn't look like the Ts did any damage in Hawaii. Hopefully Guam was also unscathed.

Susy 02-27-2010 05:29 PM

Just got word from Ottawa & they haven't heard anything, good or bad from where my son is so we are going on "no news is good news"

Lisanne 02-27-2010 09:16 PM

News says the tsunami is nearing Japan.

Ok everyone...I posted a thread for all of you so you can read my saga. lol

Susy 02-28-2010 06:54 AM

Glad Terri is OK, we heard from my son's boss and all is OK in the southern part of Chile, too, they are working hard and my boy is apparently doing well.
