Lying along the mountainous Andean coast, Chile is accustomed to earthquakes. The largest earthquake ever recorded struck the same area as Saturday’s quake on May 22, 1960. That quake, which registered a magnitude 9.5, killed 1,655 people and left 2 million homeless. The tsunami that it caused killed people in Hawaii

:blink: I better get my floaties out! :morpheus:

According to your avy, you have onboard flotation devices. Kal on the other hand, has an ass made of lead.

OF COURSE WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT BOTH OF YOU!

We've had 50 footers drop in on the North Shore that look that big. Usually during sweet swell season. You should see some of the Open Ocean spots the guys surf at, completely insane surf out in the middle of the sea.
