Nations around the Pacific Ocean are on full alert as a tsunami triggered by a 8.8 magnitude earthquake in central Chile brings higher than normal waves.

David is heading inland. I wouldnae worry. The waves would have to be huge to even make it up onto the road. Would probably avoid swimming for the next wee while, though.

Peebo Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I have family in Hawaii Currently watching CNN's coverage. They certainly seem pretty well prepared, which should hopefully avoid any lives being lost. They were saying some nutter was still swimming in the ocean a wee while ago!

They got woken at 6am from the sirens and have been evac'ing to the other side of the island since then, and we spoke to them on the phone not long ago and they seem fairly calm, kids are panicked though. I'm sure they'll be fine. All the best to everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Obama's fault, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big earthquake has now also hit Argentina, apparently not an aftershock from the Chilean tremor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart MacD Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I was goiong down to Bondi today, but the weather's not that great and apparently there are too many folks hanging around there to look for the waves - the beach was closed earlier. No big waves expected, but some tidal disturbances. Any tsunami that took out the Coogee Bay pub would be doing the world a favour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
