    Chilepepper, so glad you are ok! Be safe.

    SA and NA westcoasters, HI, and Japan, how are you doing?

    Shttingstar: our warning is for less than 1 ft wave differences, so I doubt Vancouver or Tsawassen are going to have a problem with ferries. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htm...visory27m.html But this is NOT a good day to go surfing, diving, or swimming! Currents are going to be off and unpredictable.

    Just heard from my fam in Honolulu.
    Long line at McDonald's this morning. My SIL figured that the sirens woke everybody up and the all went looking for something to eat.

    LOL. However food is a necessity.....McDonald's the refuge, the sanctuary.

    Yes, the warning for our area was downgraded 3 hrs. after I posted my lst comment in this thread. It is abit worrisome that there has been sufficient earthquake activity, including the Haiti disaster in the past few months.

    I have never ever heard of a quake of this magnitude.
    Certainly makes you think twice about complaining about snow.

    That must have been terrifying.

    The December 26, 2004 earthquake off Indonesia that triggered that tsunami was a 9.0.
    Both are dam big.
    Glad you're okay.
    We have a cycling friend who recently retired to Chile. We're still waiting to hear word from him.

    ETA: Just heard from our friend. He, too, was shaken, but he, family and friends are fine. Whew!
