8 point Earthquake in Chile
 
Sitting at work here and just heard an Bulletin on the Emergency Channel about an Earthquake in Chile with a magnitude of 8.8 points on the Rickroll scale. Tsunami warning for Hawaii.

Hope them people over in Chile are o.k.. :thumbsup:

Tell me that's not real? :(

Kal-EL 02-27-2010 10:22 PM
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.
