We just had the siren go off at around 6 and it's now 8:30. Lets hope everything turns out fine.

the elementary school near my house still has them. they used to test them every saturday morning at like 6 am. they havent in a while though. maybe it was a dick move to keep the kids from sleeping in? now everyone has A.D.D. or snorts cocaine.

Gah! This really is serious. My Guard unit (and a bunch of others in SoCal) have been put on "low" alert, and told to be ready to respond in case of a Hawiian tsunami. I assume if one WAS going to happen, it would have done so by now, but even so...stay safe, Pineapple. As much as I'd be glad to meet you, I don't want it to be under these circumstances. Sadly no

Yeah, everything and everybody here is pretty much okay. I work at the Commissary here and people were lined up to buy water and food. It was so fucking crazy that there was actually a line forming outside just to get IN! I heard people were fighting each other for water. I think that it's pretty darn funny but I banked major tips today. Smile

Glad to hear you're OK.

Wasn't there a Tsunami in Japan too? Or am I being retarded again?

Anytime there's a huge frikkin' earthquake in the water, there's a good chance of a tsunami. There was an alert for most of the Pacific rim, but nothing huge really materialized.

No tsunami, but there was a bigass earthquake. Not Chilie-sized; this one was 'only' a 7.0 Confused

I heard it was only 3ft waves albeit hundreds of miles long. To what extent was the damage?
