Thanks Rita, You have better video coverage on your post- that link shows the water.

Now they are showing water, but no movement yet.

Thanks Miss Kitty, Tsunami cancelled- excellent!

3 feet, I've seen better at Grayton.

A friend of mine in Pennsylvania just emailed me and said she had a 3 foot Tsunnami of snow in her yard.

My sister is vacationing at a beach house in Peru. The authorities woke everyone in the area up and forced them to evacuate because of the tsunami warning in Peru. She grabbed her purse, made sure she had her passport, put her other stuff on top of a tall piece of furniture, and jumped into a vehicle to get to higher ground.

In the meantime, I had heard about the tsunami warning in Peru and called her. No answer. I flipped out. Finally I got a call from her saying that she was okay. She said that they just hung out until the authorities said they could return to the beach. She said it was just a crazy and scary experience.

How could a tsunami hit Peru if originated off the coast of Chile? Nonetheless, glad Sis is enjoying that beach......I've been there! Peruvians are so friendly and delightful!

Ripples in a pond dear. ;-)

Exactly; ripples or baby waves to Peru.

Tiny waves to Hawaii too. They panic because they don't know if it's going to be little ripples or a 100 footer.

This explains it. I didn't realize a devastating tsunami could be generated that quicky. Thanks swgb!

“An earthquake of this size has the potential to generate a destructive tsunami that can strike coastlines near the epicenter within minutes and more distant coastlines within hours,” the US National Weather Service said in a statement.

watched hours yesterday just waiting for the tsunami and nothing. i was glad that it was a false alarm but i kinda wanted to see it too. i mean without any lives lost or anything. i kept watching hilo bay the water was pretty much just back and forth with a few rapids, that was somewhat interesting to see.

Ring of Fire.

Was anyone up and about in the wee hours the morning of the quake and note a seiche? What is a seiche, you ask? Read on...there were actually ripples in Lake Ponchartrain:shock:
