Tsunami - watch it live!!!

nofearengineer · 02-27-10, 02:12 PM

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the people put in harms way by the earthquake in Chile. 8.8 on the Richter scale is just huge. Since we had a small earthquake here in southern Indiana last Summer (a 5.4), I try to remind myself that an 8.8 is 2,500 times stronger. I simply can not wrap my head around that.

However terrible, like a train wreck, it is still an exciting event, especially because there should be a tsunami today in Hawaii around 4:15 pm EST. It will probably be the most televised event ever, given the advance warning. It looks like everybody will have enough time to get out of harms way of the expected 8-foot tsunami. I'm sure there will be a lot of damage, but hopefully no deaths. So tune in for the spectacle...I'm sure every channel on the dial will be covering it.
