Sorry I didn’t see your post. I posted essentially the same thing. I’m watching those buoys.

3 separate quakes in same location; 2 in the 6 range, and one in the 8.3.

Looks like the 8.3 came first .. and was followed by the two smaller ones.

USGS has a worldwide map where you can see all the quakes all over the world. Fascinating.

I am praying for the people of Templo Betesda, the people of the Jotebeche Church, and the people of Chile.

I pray for the people of Hawaii.

Lord God, keep them safe. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Pacific Tsunami Center says arrival at Hawaii is around 3am.

Unless they’re doing evacuations, dinner shouldn’t be a problem.

Station 32401:

20 meter jump in the water column. If accurate, that’s greater than than 65 feet!

Alert canceled. NOAA Tsunami Warning cancelation.
EVALUATION
BASED ON ALL AVAILABLE DATA A MAJOR TSUNAMI IS NOT EXPECTED TO
STRIKE THE STATE OF HAWAII. HOWEVER...SEA LEVEL CHANGES AND STRONG CURRENTS MAY OCCUR ALONG ALL COASTS THAT COULD BE A HAZARD
TO SWIMMERS AND BOATERS AS WELL AS TO PERSONS NEAR THE SHORE AT
BEACHES AND IN HARBORS AND MARINAS. THE THREAT MAY CONTINUE FOR
SEVERAL HOURS AFTER THE INITIAL WAVE ARRIVAL.
