I would imagine there is lots of scrambling going on in Green Rooms right now. Seven AM ET does seem to be the dividing line for all of "them" to tell all of "us" what is going on.

Change/edit article to read "3200", not "2200"

I believe every point is 10 times the energy.

Below you will find general information on how local tsunamis are generated by earthquakes as well as animations, virtual reality models of tsunamis, and summaries of past research studies. The scope of tsunami research within the USGS, however, is broader than the topics covered here. USGS researchers have also provided critical research toward understanding how sediments are transported during tsunami runup (see, for example, analysis of deposits (1.8 MB) from the recent Papua New Guinea tsunami) and deciphering the geologic record of prehistoric tsunamis (for example, in the Pacific Northwest). The USGS also collaborates with the tsunami research group at NOAA. As part of this effort under the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program, the USGS has upgraded the seismograph network and communication functions of the west coast tsunami warning system (termed CREST -- Consolidated Reporting of EarthquakeS and Tsunamis).

For further information select one of the topics below. Other tsunami sites are listed on the links page.

Let's just put it out there. :)

Rev 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

Rev 8:5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast [it] into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

Rev 16:18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, [and] so great.

Rev 16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

Rev 16:20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

According to that, the coming "earthquake" John wrote about will be the worse ever.

Same idea. Wonder how the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India weathered the tidal wave.

I was thinking of vacationing there someday, too.

Sounds about right. I know as they get bigger they get bigger, if you know what I mean. All those quakes in the Bay Area I know it was 10X .

Here in Alaska we have had 2 small quakes in the last week. Nothing near 8.9 obviously .

Any idea on how long after the quake it took the tsunamis to hit? Had evacuations started?

Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Maldives, all affected by the tidal wave, thousands killed in each location.

FoxNews just reported death toll at 3,500 and probably rising.

I can imagine quite a few fishing vessels have been caught up in the resulting tsunamis. CNN reported 40 foot waves.

You got me, I'm still trying to convert time zones and catch up. From what I understand, these waves can move pretty fast, depending a number of variables.
