Combative? Must be that time of month.
Post anything you want. I'll continue questioning non-related baja posts.
Got a problem with that? Tough.

What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

While I do see occasional non-Baja posts or non-Nomad posts, I think this one passes Lee... Because a tsunami could hit Baja from a quake on the other
side of the Pacific... yes? What do you think could have been a better subject title, 'Pacific Tsunami Warning'?

Lee, I got no problems. I meant to add some sort of smiley after my 'combative' sentence.
I posted cause I saw the quake was on a fault which could send out a pacific wide tsunami, which could certainly affect Baja. And there was a
'warning' for those regions nearby the quake.
It's not like I started posting photos of damage in the Philippines asking to contribute.

Well, call me slow, I don't think tsunami's in Asia as effecting Baja -- but anything is possible. Think I needed some explanation and visuals to
understand. I meant to have a smiley face as well -- still don't know how to use them:]
Sure don't want a surprise like the folks in the pic David posted. What a nightmare!

No worries.
But if a Tsunami were indeed generated by the quake located on that particular fault oriented as it is, it most certainly could have crossed the
Pacific with only a few small islands in between to break up the raw power. It would take 12 or 14 hours to do so, and would not be like the Japanese
footage of 30 foot near instantaneous tidal changes on arrival, but all the Fishermen in Baja would certainly want all the time possible to insure
their families and livelyhoods were protected from even a decayed, well traveled tsunami.
That was my reason for posting it.
Such a tsunami is not an If, but a when( not necessarily fro this fault/ region) Perhaps not our lifetimes nor for 10k more years, but perhaps
tomorrow. It is 2012 after all.

You know what they say... about the three kinds of people?:
There are people who WATCH things happen.
There are people who MAKE things happen.
and...
There are people who WONDER WHAT HAPPENED!!

It was obvious to me, LadyYacht, why it was posted. Few people are aware of the early warning systems in all of our oceans to not only warn of
trans-ocean tsunamis, but also gather meteorological (sp?) data, paid for with USA tax dollars. Thank the USGS. It is an extensive system. I think it
would be pretty cool to be in the industry that deploys and then maintains these life-saving systems. The oceans are littered with these buoys,
depicted as little traffic cones in Google Earth.
The Google earth screen capture below shows one such buoy. There are 100's in all the earth's waters.
In keeping with the "800 pixel rule"  , below is a sample image. A larger image can be clicked on here.

Thanks, D. Got it down now (except for when linking to other peoples' files). Snapshot. Save. Post LINK to bigger image. Resize to 800 px. Post to BN
and insert 800 px image. Yippie! I'm soooo smart. It's just time consuming. But that's okay. I'm in Florida with nothing better to do.
