watch out Mike, Tsunami is coming

Big quake of 8.8 in chili said to have caused a tsunami that threatens the Pacific ocean. Keep high and dry

Hey, My younger brother is in New Zealand! Tell him to get to high ground too!

I watched it on tv as it "hit" Hawaii and it looked like a non event. Why are some so destructive and others little or nothing but a high tide?

Shake and bake! I would imagine taht the duration of the quake would make a difference too
