BREAKING - An 8.8 magnitude earthquake hit Chile, and has triggered a chain reaction of tsunami warnings for areas around the world. Video footage of the quake will likely be posted on Youtube soon enough, so stay tuned for that.
I just got back from Starbucks to find that the Top 40 Search Trends all relate to the earthquake. An 8.8 magnitude is massive. According to many news sources, around 140 people have died. However, I'm not sure of the accuracy of this number.
From Gather - "The tsunami warning for Hawaii in Hawaii news has everyone in the Oahu tsunami zone evacuating. Meanwhile, Noozhawk reports the California tsunami warning 2010 was issued on 8:47 AM Saturday. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a widespread advisory for the Pacific coast going from the California-Mexico border to Alaska."
It should be interesting to see how everything plays out. My prayers go out to everyone involved.
