Six feet!

That big, huh?

[kingattax]

Some reports claim the wave which hit the Chilean coast was as high as 7ft.

Tremours from last night’s earthquake were felt as far away as Bolivia.

When did this happen? At the link it says 2:17 a.m. Then there’s a video at 2:50 a.m. that looks like broad daylight.

Isn’t 6-7 feet “surfs up”?

[Vendome]

Hang ten brah ...

[Southern Magnolia]

That's a big one.

Apparently some of the journalists covering this earthquake don't realize that the copper mines themselves are many miles inland, and at high elevations.

That said, damage is likely from even relatively small tsunami surges in the ports along the coast. Luckily much of the coastline has significant bluffs, and is sparsely populated.

Tsunami watch up to the state of Washington. Panama is somewhere between Chili and Washington. My guess you will be OK, but I thought I would PING you none the less.

[Bender2]

Gadzooks! From USGS is this listing... of sizable earthquakes all in the same area offshore of Chile

Algore is proud!

The sea has risen!
The Earth is in jeopardy!
We are all going to die!

Hurrah, Hurrah, I was right (AlGore!)
