We're under tsunami warnings here. Supposed to hit around noon or so, maybe 1-1.5m.

I was born in chile. I remember the earthquake that took down our house when I was a kid. Pretty bad stuff.
Good news is that all my family seems to be well and accounted for... |

Hawaii is seeing just fast oscillating 'tides' . . so far. Let's hope that's all

My Daughter said it was boring to wait for it. CNN is saying the warning has expired.

I was in a 7.2 or 7.6 quake when I was young. I couldn't imagine what an 8.8 would be like. They had a quake that registered 9.5 maybe 20 years ago. That would be super scarry.

AP:
"A deafening roar rose from the convulsing earth as buildings groaned and clattered. The sound of screams was confused with the crash of plates and windows. Then the earth stilled, silence returned and a smell of damp dust rose in the streets, where stunned survivors took refuge." |
