Not Much Tsunami Warning for Chile:Towns Washed Away
Read how drinking teenagers can save lives. See the Heilung Blog for the complete story:
Some have complained about "False Tsunami Alerts", when the flooding was minimal on some Islands west of Chile. Chileans got the worst of it, partly because of inefficient communication and a sloppy warning system. This setting of where the Worlds Most Powerful Earthquakes, EVER RECORDED! (9.5+) occur every few decades, are really fairly frequent - on the Geologic scale..

I expected the "global warming" crowd to be doing some serious environmental finger pointing by now.

That earthquake was nature's way of "burping."
