Preliminary reports say three people missing after tsunami wave hits Chile’s Robinson Crusoe Island; Juan Fernandez Island heavily damaged
Watch Station 51406
In the main thread — “8.8 Earthquake in Chili” — it was stated that THAT report about the 140 foot wave came from Twitter, and that it was an utterly unreliable source, and that furthermore, someone probably took a 40-foot wave and thought that it was a 40-meter wave, so quickly multiplied it by 3 to come up with 140-feet -— it’s a total inaccuracy; elsewise that news would be EVERYWHERE — I mean, when have we ever heard of a 140 foot ocean wave????
I *rolled my eyes* too when I heard that.
Thanks for your family’s dedication and service to the country, even if he IS a bubblehead!! The waves that passed the Marquesas islands do not look too bad....prayers for all.
I'm concerned about this stuff.
If you can, Sunken Civ, please put me on your catastrophe ping list.
He’ll probably use it too hawk Obie Care. There is absulutely nothing constructive he can add at this time, so it’s political. He’s a complete attention whore.
Hi! I was wondering if you had left yet. Please go when they tell you to. We want you safe and sound....and your family!
Take care and please keep in touch!
right now all the politicians are on trying to act like they are important and really care. Personally I don’t think anything big will happen here but am not going to stick around to find out. Always better to take the safe route.
Thanks Dinah!
Thanks for that - I think. He seems to like it, even though being 6’ 2” seems to have contributed to his developing a considerable vocabulary of colorful terms involving bulkheads.

Evacuation busses in Waikiki, pets are allowed on bus, ppl heading to higher ground, call: 454-5006 for pickup.
It’s face time. Last chance before the power goes off.
Per Fox News, Obie is planning to get on TV and tell America everything “We” are doing to prepare for the tsunami.. Taking credit for everything authorities in Hawaii have done.
Its bad enough that Chile got whacked without another country getting drowned.
Busses to evacuate people, what a concept!
That way it's almost as easy being POTUS as it is to be VP! ; )
I guess it really is too much to expect one stinkin’ day without seeing him on TV
My daughter is in Honolulu & they’re high enough up to be fine - her in laws however are evacuating.
Will he also advise that all birth certificate records have been destroyed due to the tsunami tragedy?
(Heh. Just kidding)
FH... do you still have your dugout canoe from the mainline with you? OK just kidding and to let let you know you and your family are in our prayers.
