What area?
The first post I see on Twitter at 6:33AM EDT is:
BrownSpeak: #newzealand yah! Finally..it took an earthquake for everyone to notice us
At least they have a sense of humor!
So many of our Obama Voting Public is too stupid to realize the Richter Scale is logarithmic, not liner.
They hear 7.0 and then 7.8 and think, "well, it's only wafer thin".
Thanks for the post. This could be really big news.
BTTT
Great. I wanted to sleep tonight.
the Pacific rim is rockin’.
Dad was stationed in NZ while waiting for his Marine battalion to hit the beaches of Guadalcanal. He always talked about retiring to NZ but never did make it back there......

BEEN DESTRUCTIVE ALONG COASTS NEAR THE EARTHQUAKE EPICENTER. FOR
THOSE AREAS - WHEN NO MAJOR WAVES ARE OBSERVED FOR TWO HOURS
AFTER THE ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL OR DAMAGING WAVES HAVE NOT
OCCURRED FOR AT LEAST TWO HOURS THEN LOCAL AUTHORITIES CAN ASSUME
THE THREAT IS PASSED. DANGER TO BOATS AND COASTAL STRUCTURES CAN
CONTINUE FOR SEVERAL HOURS DUE TO RAPID CURRENTS. AS LOCAL
CONDITIONS CAN CAUSE A WIDE VARIATION IN TSUNAMI WAVE ACTION THE
ALL CLEAR DETERMINATION MUST BE MADE BY LOCAL AUTHORITIES.
NO TSUNAMI THREAT EXISTS FOR OTHER COASTAL AREAS IN THE PACIFIC

THE TSUNAMI WARNING IS NOW CANCELLED FOR ALL AREAS COVERED BY
THIS CENTER.
THIS WILL BE THE FINAL BULLETIN ISSUED FOR THIS EVENT UNLESS

THE WEST COAST/ALASKA TSUNAMI WARNING CENTER WILL ISSUE PRODUCTS
FOR ALASKA...BRITISH COLUMBIA...WASHINGTON...OREGON...CALIFORNIA.Anybody been watching all of the marine life washing up dead? Drudge had a headline on one and I slightly researched and it looked common over the past few years. Does this have anything to do with pending earthquakes (even in far places)? Just curious...
