Major earthquake off Pacific NW coast - Frankie Stapleton - 10-27-2012 While the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center does not believe we're in for a tsunami, based on known data at this point in time, they do caution people on Hawaii's coast to be aware of erratic currents etc. beginning around 10:28 p.m. tonight. Here's their notice: EVALUATION THE WEST COAST AND ALASKA TSUNAMI WARNING CENTER HAS ISSUED A REGIONAL TSUNAMI WARNING AND/OR WATCH AND/OR ADVISORY FOR OTHER PARTS OF THE PACIFIC LOCATED CLOSER TO THE EARTHQUAKE. BASED ON ALL AVAILABLE DATA THERE IS NO DESTRUCTIVE TSUNAMI THREAT TO HAWAII. HOWEVER...

Here is the printout: BULLETIN TSUNAMI MESSAGE NUMBER 3 NWS PACIFIC TSUNAMI WARNING CENTER EWA BEACH HI 709 PM HST SAT OCT 27 2012 TO - CIVIL DEFENSE IN THE STATE OF HAWAII SUBJECT - TSUNAMI WARNING A TSUNAMI WARNING IS ISSUED FOR THE STATE OF HAWAII EFFECTIVE AT 0709 PM HST. THIS UPGRADE IS DUE TO THE SEA LEVEL READINGS RECEIVED AND THE RESULTING CHANGE IN THE HAWAII TSUNAMI FORECAST. RE: Major earthquake off Pacific NW coast - macuu222 - 10-27-2012 Yep...It's been upgraded. It's gonna hit Hawaii. But they don't know how big or where. Im surprised the sirens haven't gone off. RE: Major earthquake off Pacific NW coast - Lin W - 10-27-2012 I got a phone call at 7:09 from County of Hawaii but no messsage, just dead line - good thing they put a crawl on the TV or I'd've missed the whole thing! Today is the oldest you've ever been and the youngest you'll ever be, enjoy this day! RE: Major earthquake off Pacific NW coast - Carey - 10-27-2012 the earthquake was a 7.7 off of BC Canada Coast, followed by a 5.8 ten minutes later & a 4.8 just after 6pm http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/10/27/quake-with-a-magnitude-of-7-7-strikes-off-canada-coast/ expected arrival 10:28 initial 3' wave to possibly 6' impact off of Kahului http://www.kitv.com/news/hawaii/Tsunami-warning-issued-for-Hawaii-10-28-p-m-expected-arrival/-/8905354/17164020/-/9r4uix/-/index.html RE: Major earthquake off Pacific NW coast - Chuysmom - 10-27-2012 Cat, are you and Robert heading up the hill?

Galadriel LOTR RE: Major earthquake off Pacific NW coast - Royall - 10-27-2012 It is strange that the sirens went and went forever on the last Tsunami and it was just a Tsunami "watch". This time it is a full on warning and no sirens at all so far. Royall Hale O Na Mea Pa`ani RE: Major earthquake off Pacific NW coast - Carey - 10-27-2012 Deborah, actually, there are no sirens anywhere yet, just the CD warnings on the media. I did call some down on the point... it is probably good to have CD phone alerts if you are down in the zone... I tried to call Cat... hopefully they are packing... there is no evacuation request on the warnings yet...BUT ANYONE DOWN SHOULD BE PREPPING TO GO UP NOW (if you do not have a packed bag...).... RE: Major earthquake off Pacific NW coast - Nalu - 10-27-2012 Carey, I've talked to folks in Kona who have sirens going off right now and in HNL. None over here east side so far..hmmm.. |
