Yeah, Tsunami's hitting Hawaii, California, or Alaska would be bad, wouldn't it?

I feel for the people down in Chile right now and hope that the worst is over.

Santiago is about 10 hours from Concepcion so they seem to be safe from the worse shaking of the earthquake, hopefully your brother in law's family will be safe from tsunami also, Mandalina.

I cant remember, is this one in Chile worse than the one in Haiti?

I think it's higher on the richter scale, but less damage. Chile was much more prepared architecturally- especially in the capital.

I was reading some of the news about the tsunami & warnings. They said one time recently Japan was hit by a tsunami that was 11 inches high. How would they even know?
