not another April fools joke.
It's true but with little impact at our latitude, dude.
The grass is always greener....
and so, there is always a better spot in Baja

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued an alert for all of Latin America’s Pacific coast. Chile’s Emergency Office said a large tsunami wave was
expected to hit the island of Juan Fernandez out in the Pacific just before midnight local time.

Hawaii on the lookout tonight for something coming from this........ but, maybe not much.
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

Ride the Wild Surf ?
Nah !
It's looking like a minor event.
Which is a GOOD thing. Otherwise, it would possibly put a serious dent into the (mostly CNN) 24/7 Malaysia Flight 370 speculative coverage.

A SIX FOOT Tsunami hit the coast of Chile. Lesee, max speed 600 mph, how many miles is it to Mexico? Tsunami buoys, oh well hell, no one wants to hear
about reality, right? They all want to see this mile-high wall of crystal blue water arriving at the shoreline. Can't add mud, octupi, seaweed, and
whale --- to screw up that beautiful sapphire movie script hallucination. Yeah, throw in the mad surfer! "Ohhhhh man! I waited all my life for this
onnnnnnnneeeeeeeee...."

The sarcastic side won out. Sorry. Global Warming, cooling, Al Qaeda, Al Gore, Tidal waves, tidal action, nothing is "ordinary" any more. Everything
HAS GOT TO BE turbocharged, including the news.
It all makes for rich fodder in the snicker department...

Ignorance is truly bliss. I had idea about the earthquake, nor the tsunami warning.

I gotta admit, being 375 feet above sea level with a view to the Coronado Islands it sure would be a site to behold, now that you mentioned it....
