8.8 Quake Rocks Chile

SuperFemme · 02-27-2010, 05:33 AM

Tsunamis advisory's are being issued for the whole Pacific Basin, which includes Hawaii, CA, OR, and maybe WA?

Holy Crap that is strong.

Gonna pray for everyone in Chile, the shocks are huge and all centered right off the Coast. Makes me nervous to head to San Fran.

Right Ms. Diva? My wheelchair can outrun a wave. Just keep me off the bridges please.

I was just watching a video with Cal showing that the strongest earthquake EVER on record came from Chile in 1960 at 9.5. That prompted a Tsunami in Hilo following that quake with a loss of life of approx. 100.

Interestingly, the strongest quakes are not always the deadliest. I am way worried about this quake because the quakes are rocking right off the coast, close to Santiago and Consencion.

No word yet on Tsunami injuries but one would be expected to reach HI by 11 a.m. local time there.

Pat Roberts better zip it!

Haiti, Japan, Chile. I am in SF for the moment....yikes. 8.8 is nothing I ever want to see.

Praying for everyone whose lives are devastated at the moment. Sanity to the chaos, healing to the injured, strength to the survivors and peace to the deceased.

When stuff like this, natural disasters I usually feel a bit overwhelmed. It reminds me I am a human and nature will always have the last word.

I also think about the real people and animals impacted and in distress. All of them worthy of some compassion and help. If you can help, do what you can do. If not with money, then your thoughts and deeds.

I do know that there is a member of this B-F cyber community that does reach across the various sites and she is not in Chile but very close. I am sure some of you know her too. There is also another community member in Hawaii, which may experience a tsunami as a result of this earthquake. Send an email and check in on them. There really is only 360 degrees of separation.

I know we all do not share in the same opinions, values, ecetera but I do hope we get that we do have some commonalities and can use some of that commonality to keep us hopeful.
