Tsunami Inbound

Well this could be fun. Feel sorry for the people of Chile, 8.8 earthquake struck late last night.

We've got a tsunami inbound to Hawaii from it, no exact measurements for it so far. Currently expected maybe between 4-6ft, at 500mph. It should be hitting the south of the island rather than our north-east, but it's expected that if it's any size it will wrap around the coast and still strike us, or at the least result in higher water.

No blanket evacuation orders currently, but they've marked out areas to avoid, a number of beaches and shopping centers are closed, and I'm making sure water supplies are good.

Here's hoping we get some decent information soon: http://www.prh.noaa.gov/hnl/pages/news.php
