Thought I'd keep this separate from the earthquake thread, just because there's some good earthquake specific conversation going. |

Boats are frantically being pulled out of the harbors and moved further onto land, and all other procedures are under way, including evacuations and closures. |

This is one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. With the first reading from a buoy about ten minutes ago, it's expected to hit Hawaii in a matter of minutes. I don't think we've ever seen anything like this play out on television. |

Interesting. They said it was expected to hit at 4. So far we're behind schedule. Does that mean it's larger than anticipated? God I hope not... |

the stream i'm watching just showed boats still out on the ocean. I know the coast guard was yelling at people from helicopters to get to a safe elevation and not surf. certainly they got the boaters as well. |

if you are in the water, you are ok. its not a huge wave, a wall of water. the wave is probably maybe 10 feet tall when it hits land... the water just keeps coming after it. |

Exactly. It's not the height. It's the length. You know when you're at the beach, and a wave rolls up on shore, and it eventually pulls back before the next one comes? A tsunami rolls up the shore, and just doesn't stop. It moves up onto land and floods inland for extended periods of time. |
